Dates: February 11 – April 2, 3016
Reception: Thursday, February 25, 6-8 p.m.
More than a dozen award-winning photographers will feature their work at the New Jersey Photography Forum (NJPF) exhibition in the County College of Morris (CCM) Art Gallery starting next month.
Titled “Dimensions: A NJPF Invitational,” the exhibition will explore the broad spectrum of possibilities available to today’s photographic artists. It also will offer viewers an opportunity to take a trip through the modern-day world of photography.
The exhibit opens February 11 and runs until April 2. An artists’ reception is scheduled for Thursday, February 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. All works will be available for sale.
A total of 15 NJPF members have been invited to participate in the exhibit. Each will present a series of images that reflect a particular specialty or focus from the full range of possibilities that are available, including traditional film photography and new digital technologies and cell phone cameras.
Subjects will include landscapes, graphic manipulations, portraits and abstracts.
“This exhibit will not only be a visually exciting event for the viewer, it will also be instructional and inspirational for the young student photographer who is just starting to explore the art form,” says Nancy Ori, co-curator for the exhibit. “We are very happy to be partnering with County College of Morris with this special project. As an organization, we are dedicated to developing the art form of photography and assisting artists to grow and develop in the field. This exhibit is a part of what we do all the time.”
