“As a lover of photography and the stories they tell, I wanted to create a space and time within the Gallery dedicated to those stories. The Exhibition is meant to bring Emerging Artists looking for a platform, as well as Established Artists who may not get to photograph simply for the love of photography, together.” ~ Karen Anderer, Owner and Curator
