Multiple Exposures Gallery Collaborative Exhibition 2022

Multiple Exposures Gallery (MEG) presents their annual Collaborative Exhibition  featuring photography by member artists. MEG photographers use a collaborative approach to create a sequence of images, each one chosen for its relation to the previous image. These relationships may be based on composition, color, shape or texture, illumination or shadow, things depicted or implied or any other characteristic the artists choose.  This popular exhibition is on view in the MEG Gallery in the Torpedo Factory—105 N. Union Street, Alexandria, VA—through August 21. You can also view the exhibit in their virtual gallery.

 

Enjoy the weekend!
