PHOTOGRAPHY MEETUP EXHIBITION
/
Photography meetups are a worldwide phenomenon in which shutterbugs from a particular city, region or community come together to talk about gear, swap tips and techniques, share images and stories, and, most importantly, have fun doing it!
The St. Louis Photography Club has an active meetup community that meets regularly for photo adventures from which amateur judges select first and second place winners from the photographs made. A curated selection of those "monthly winners" are currently on display in the Gretchen Brigham Gallery. Local artist and photographer Valerie Rippey has curated the show, which includes photography from Lori Biehl, Bob Sandor, Lola Leland, RIchard Doyle, Janis Shetley, Christy Schneller, Karen Fletcher, Daniel Yaroschevsky, Karen Ingram, Carol Sluzevich, Undrey Clay, Richard Schons, Richard Keeling, Larry Glenn, Bill Matchan, and Kristen Bagwill.
The Arts Group of Union Avenue is hosting an opening reception to welcome the photographers and unveil the exhibit Saturday, November 7, 3 – 5:30 p.m. The exhibition runs through the end of the month. For gallery hours and information, call (314) 361-8844 to inquire.
