Now live at the Rogers Free Library in Bristol, Museum: Pre-Covid and Peak-Covid Bristol.
The photos were taken at Coggeshall Farm, in Bristol Rhode Island and will be available for viewing until Sept. 11, 2024.
The Bristol Art Museum, in collaboration with the Rogers Free Library, invited photographers to showcase their original works focusing on various landscapes, cityscapes, and unique perspectives of terrains.
The exhibit will be on view in the Community Galleries of the Rogers Free Library from July 22 to Sept. 11. Photographic artists Bonnie and Marc Jaffe served as the jurors for the exhibit.
Inspired by the words of French novelist and literary critic Marcel Proust, “the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
“Our next exhibit, ‘Scapes’ challenges photographers to explore and capture the essence of natural and urban environments through their lenses,” said Vicky McGrath, Bristol Art Museum Board Member. “Whether it’s the rugged beauty of countryside vistas, the intricate details of urban landscapes, or the ethereal formations of cloudscapes, this exhibition seeks to showcase the diversity and creativity of photographic artistry. We welcome photographers of all abilities with a passion for telling a story through a lens to submit works of art for consideration in this exhibit.”
Bonnie and Marc Jaffe, the jurors and native Rhode Islanders, have practiced photographic artistry since 2006. With numerous accolades and regional exhibitions to their credit, their expertise and discerning eye will ensure a compelling selection of artworks for the ‘Scapes’ exhibit.
