The University of Southern Indiana’s BG Projects at New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) is proud to present Visions of Utopia: Society for Photographic Education Volunteers’ Survey Exhibit. This cutting-edge exhibit features photography by 35 student volunteers from four different colleges and universities working with the Society for Photographic Education’s Midwest Chapter. The exhibit is running now through Saturday, October 26.
“The Society for Photographic Education could not be what it is without our amazing students from across the country,” notes society leadership. “This exhibition is a celebration of the diverse works our student volunteers are creating in and out of the classroom. These students have volunteered their time and energy to help make our conference a success, and in turn, we want to share the work they make. This was a non-juried student exhibition that allowed students to pick a favorite work created over the past year.”
