The Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild is taking its 12th biennial exhibit, “Finding the Light,” on the road to the Umpqua Valley Arts Center in Roseburg.
An abridged edition of the guild’s 80-print exhibit last fall at Oregon State University, the UVA show features 21 photographs that interpret the opening lines of Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman’s 2021 Presidential Inauguration poem:
When day comes we ask ourselves where can we find light in the never-ending shade?
The color and black-and-white photographs in the show depict light in its myriad forms–on the landscape, in the heavens, along city streets, and in the dark of night; as well as inside ancient churches, abandoned buildings and within the minds of the artist.
The Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild was formed more than 30 years ago to promote and support fine art photography in the mid-valley and has been an affiliated guild of the Corvallis Art Center since 1988.
