Meet the Artists Reception: Saturday, April 11; 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Light & Shadow is a group photographic exhibition featuring the works of Mary Askey, Linda Brown, Mary Chalmers Main, Zidonja Ganert, Delphine Gornall, Fred Gornall, Michael Hamilton-Clark, Jenna Hauck, Vickie Legere and Pat Tessier. The exhibition illustrates that the moments we capture and the stories we tell with our images are all contingent on the quality and nature of the light on our subject. Light creates mood: who’s spirits haven’t been lifted by a magnificent sunrise or sunset? Light reflects back on windows and water. Light casts shadows to create drama or a moment of whimsy. As photographic artists the camera is the tool we use to share the world as we see it! We look forward to seeing you there!

Notes:

Opening hours are from 12 noon to 5 pm, Wednesday through Saturday. Admission is free.
