Open Shutter to show DHS photography
The Open Shutter Gallery, 735 Main Ave., will present a special Red Room exhibit of photography by Durango High School students.
The show will begin Friday and will continue through April 29. The main gallery is featuring the work of Los Angeles photographer Kamil Vojnar.
The DHS Photography Department will share the work of 13 student photographers. DHS’s Visual Arts Department offers courses in digital photography and advanced digital photography. Students in these courses learn to use the camera; to edit their photos in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom; to make fine art digital prints; to mat and finish their work; and to critique. In these courses, students are challenged to work like real artists and photographers to develop their own interests and styles in photography.
The artist’s reception will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday.
