SLCC Forest Park Gallery: Friday, 25 January 2019

January 25-February 21, 2019

Starting from Anywhere: Vernacular Photography is an exhibition of photographs from the collections of STLCC faculty members David Hanlon, Jamie Kreher, and David Moore. Vernacular photography is a genre that includes personal snapshots, family albums, school portraits, travel or souvenir images, commercial portraiture, and occupational photographs.  Most of the time the images are made by amateurs or photographers who aren’t well known.  They can be unintentionally artistic in their depictions of everyday life. Vernacular photographs also reveal the relationship between culture, history, and photography. Visitors to the gallery will be able to create their own vernacular photographs from their smart phones during the opening reception and at various times throughout the exhibition. 

Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday from 10am to 2pm or by appointment.

The Contemporary Art Gallery is located within the entrance vestibule of the STLCC-Forest Park Library. Once you enter the first set of doors, the gallery will be located to the right; D-118.
