The exhibit opens July 2 and runs through July 29. A “Meet the Artist” reception will be held on Friday, July 11 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The Gallery is located in the Ocean City Arts Center, 1735 Simpson Ave., 2nd Floor.
Stay Focused Photography Club’s exhibit showcases how photographers utilize the medium to translate their internal visions and artistic influences into tangible works through a diverse range of styles and even unconventional techniques, according to the news release. Considering that photography is a medium that can both capture reality and create illusions, this exhibition explores how photographers utilize its unique capabilities to bring their dreams and artistic visions to life.
