Arts council hosts juried photo show

The Island Now

The Huntington Arts Council announced this week “Earth, Air and Water: A Celebration of Tri-State Wildlife and Nature,” a juried photography show.

Jurored by Andrew Darlow, the opening is Friday Feb. 5, from 6 to 8 p.m. and the show runs through Feb. 27 at the Main Street Gallery, 213 Main Street Huntington. This is a free event and open to the public. 

“Photography is like magic. In a fraction of a second, a moment can be captured that will never be repeated exactly the same way again,” Darlow said. “This is especially true when our images include wildlife and nature.

“The entries for this show truly showcased the natural beauty and splendor of NY, NJ and CT,” he added. “In addition to many spectacular images of animals, flowers and breathtaking water scenes, I selected some photographs that include people and man-made structures. This balance between the human and natural worlds fascinates me, and I really look forward to viewing the exhibition on the gallery walls.” 

Congratulations to the following photographers who’s work has been chosen to appear in this show: Talia Amorosano, Irene Andreadis, Debra Baer, Amy Bisagni, Holly Black, Winifred Boyd, Laura Rittenhouse Burke, Terry  Canavan, Dorothy M. Chanin, Tom Colligan, Joseph Cutolo, Leonard Digiovanna, Jessie Edelstein, Monica Friedrich, Jay Gammill, Shannon Gannon, Susan Geffken Burton, Phyllis Goodfriend, George Gough, Jovanna Hopkins, Patrick Keeffe, John Killelea, Susan Kozodoy Silkowitz, Julia Lang-Shapiro, Mark Lefkin, Matthew Levine, Elizabeth Milward, Vera Mingovits, Trish Minogue Collins, Howard Pohl, Tom Reichert, Burt Reminick, Spencer Ross, Max Schauder, Harry Schuessler, Ruth Siegel, Don Thiergard, E.
