The intent of the program is to balance technical competence with expressive concerns in order to free the individual to find his or her own artistic vision.

The exhibition includes paintings, drawings and photography using gelatin silver, large format, and some digital work. The opening reception will be held Friday, May 6, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public. The exhibit will hang until the end of June.
