Colleen presents photographs made during a 6 week journey visiting several counties in western Ireland including: County Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, Clare, Limerick, Kerry and Cork.
What Colleen found most striking about the Irish Landscape was its breadth and diversity. In any given moment a scene might unfold as both grand and intimate; tenacious and gentle; or humble and proud.

HARD TRUTHS: McDowell County, WV - Photographs by Sandy LeBrun-Evans
©Sandy LeBrun-Evans
Sandy’s photographs represent her 2016 trips through the county of McDowell in West Virginia capturing the remains of the demise of the coal industry and the empty promises of “jobs, jobs, jobs” by politicians.
West Virginians are proud, hard working people who are extremely loyal and have deep love for their state. They have watched the mines close, the mountaintops cut off and the land timbered, yet when they see a coal truck on the highway, they cheer because there is work.

“Never Forget” - A New Exhibit by Alan Sislen
Multiple Exposures Gallery is pleased to present “Never Forget,” an exhibit by Alan Sislen commemorating the 15th anniversary of 9/11. The exhibit will run from September 6th – October 16th, 2016. The opening reception will be held on Sunday, September 11th from 2-4pm.
The photographs in this exhibit chronicle Sislen’s 15-year journey beginning before 9/11, and continuing today. We see photographs of devastation, mourning and remembrance, primarily at and near the site of the World Trade Center in New York City. The exhibit explores an area destroyed and then transformed into new structures and memorials, and reflects a resilience and new vibrancy and hope for New York City and beyond.
Sislen’s personal connection to Lower Manhattan and the neighboring financial district were the catalyst for a few casual photographs growing into a decade and a half long project. As we commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11, he hopes these photographs will help us Never Forget the morning of 9/11/01 that affected so many, and the sorrow, the hope and the transformation that followed.
Opening Reception: Sunday, September 11, 2-4pm (free and open to the public)
Exhibition Dates: September 6th – October 16th, 2016
