Justin Audet: Gateway

Stop into the newly reopened Lab @ Silver Eye to see a pop-up exhibition of work by Justin Audet! On view will be works from Audet's series Gateway (a work in progress) which serves as a visual study of levitation and horizons with subjects ranging from cable cars to monoliths.

This work will be on view concurrently with the exhibition in our main gallery, Expanding Visions: Works from the Silver Eye Institute. Stop in during the First Friday Unblurred Penn Avenue Art Walk on Friday, August 6th, to see both exhibitions!

About the Silver Eye Institute

The Silver Eye Institute is our new holistic approach to our educational programming. We believe that contemporary photography can help us to better understand our world and ourselves. We offer accessible opportunities to help individuals realize their personal voices through photography and gain a deep and nuanced understanding of the many roles images play in our world. Through workshops, mentorship, tours, reading groups, and public conversations the Silver Eye Institute is committed to helping people grow creatively through photography. Learning the art and craft of photography and understanding how to make meaning from images can unlock creative potential in people of all ages regardless of their experience level.

The Silver Eye Institute's workshops center the teaching of photography in accessibility, open creative exploration, and honest discourse, and we have courses designed for all levels of experience with photography. We believe the most powerful and inspirational way to learn is to have amazing artists share the heart of their creative practice. Our goal is to help all kinds of artists further their own creative vision.
