The Photo Collective Members’ Exhibition Now Open!
Virginia White-Scoble, Eyes on Spices
The Carnegie Arts Center is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition in the Lobby Galleries. The exhibition features works by members of a regional photography club, The Photo Collective. The show opens to the public on June 17 and will remain on view through August 9, 2015.
The photographers in The Photo Collective put on a members exhibition once each year; the venue has changed over the years as spaces to exhibit are sometimes hard to come by. The group approached the Carnegie’s Exhibition Committee with a proposal in 2014. Lisa McDermott, Director of the Carnegie Arts Center, says “I was already familiar with many of these artists, knew the high caliber of photographs they make, and it was just a matter of finding the right time in the schedule to present their works as a group.” McDermott asked the members to submit examples of their work and she curated an exhibition from among the works received from 13 members. “This is an active and creative group of photographers from throughout our region. The show has a great diversity in styles and subjects, showcasing the different interests of the individual artists.”
