Together, the six photographers form a collective that highlights both the range and the depth of photography as an art form.
Their shared goal with SIX SHUTTERS is to demonstrate how the shutter of a camera can serve as a window to countless worlds, from quiet personal moments to expansive landscapes, from intimate portraits to sweeping urban scenes.
SIX SHUTTERS is a chance to unite and present a broader conversation about what photography means to photographers as artists and as members of the Clarksville community.
The opening reception on March 6th will be offering guests the first look at the exhibit and a chance to meet the artists behind the work.
We encourage everyone to come celebrate the art of photography and experience the diverse perspectives showcased in SIX SHUTTERS.
Exhibit Dates: March 6th – March 29th, 2025
Opening Reception: March 6th, 2025, 5:00pm-8:00pm during Artwalk
