Eye of the Beholder VII: One Image, Many Perspectives
October 13-November 8, 2014
THE EXHIBIT: Every year we pick a single photograph from our holdings. And ask you to interpret or describe it, or use it in some way based on your knowledge, skills, and areas of interest. If you’d like to alter the image in some way as all of or a part of your interpretation, we’d welcome that as well.
