STEAM Series: The Heart and Soul of Kansas Sports

STEAM Series: The Heart and Soul of Kansas Sports with Jeff Jacobsen

"While covering sporting events that many call “big time,” I never forgot how much fun it was to document the events where Kansans of all ages compete for the purest joy and satisfaction in competitions that reveal “The Heart and Soul of Kansas Sports.” Three years ago, I realized that my heart and soul needed to delve into this with all the skills and talents my long career allowed me to develop. To be far-reaching and all-encompassing, I want to travel to all 105 counties in the state of Kansas to explore the possibilities."

Jeff Jacobsen guides us through a collection of compelling images from the Heart & Soul Project, alongside stories behind the images. Heart and Soul masterfully captures the the essence of sport and the importance it has to Kansans and their communities. He is a captivating story teller who has witnessed endless meaningful moments and preserved them for posterity.

Our presenter:

Jeff Jacobsen has photographed practically every big event the sports world has to offer during a professional career that spans over 56 years. Jacobsen has seen things up close that only a diehard sports fan could in their dreams. His work for the Topeka Capital-Journal, Arizona Republic, Kansas Athletics, Inc., many national publications and now Action Images Photography, Inc., cemented his reputation as one of the nation’s finest sports photographers.

We are so excited to host this special evening with Jeff and will have some of his work displayed on the second floor of the cafe.
