HARRISBURG – HACC’s annual Student Honors Exhibit in Photography is a collection of photographs of the best work done by students in 10 different photography classes this semester.
The free, public exhibit will be open Monday, Nov. 29, through Thursday, Dec. 9, in the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery on the Harrisburg Campus of HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College.
This fall, students were invited to submit one to two prints from each of their photography classes. Art faculty jurors selected nearly 100 photos to hang in the gallery. The collection covers a variety of subject matter, including landscapes, portraits, figures, still lifes and architecture with silver gelatin prints, chromagenic prints and archival pigment prints of various sizes. Many of the photos are for sale, all proceeds going to the artist.
HACC’s photography facility was dedicated in 1985 and ever since has been consistently rated by independent consultants and publications as one of the nation’s finest educational college photography complexes. The state-of-the-art facility in the John N. Hall Technology Center includes a digital photography lab with 19 Mac Pro computers and peripherals. HACC’s photography program still includes traditional black and white and color labs along with the new digital lab.
HACC photography students have won dozens of national honors, including a Pulitzer Prize nomination and highest honors in the Best of College Photography Competition. Students who graduate from the photography program may transfer to a four-year college or university or go into business for themselves.
All gallery events are free and open to the public. Hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 5-7 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. For more information call 717-780-2435 or e-mail Kim Banister, gallery curator, at kebanist@hacc.edu. Visit the gallery online at www.hacc.edu or on Facebook.
