Photo exhibit opens April 8 in Skylight Gallery
The opening and reception for I Say Hello, You Say Goodbye/You Say Hello, I Say Goodbye, a group photography show with work by Anita Bingaman, Joan Bowers, Maria Festing, Deborah Conger Hughes, Nathan Makan, Ian Painter, Stan Raucher, and Jerry Wade, will be from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 8, in the Skylight Gallery.
According to the participants, the show is about coming, and it is about going. It is about the passion felt for the places and people that were left. It is about the excitement felt for the new places and people seen. It is about the locations where this transition happens — of some people saying goodbye, but others saying hello.
For the reception the UW Photographers Group is joining up with some doctors and medical students from the hospital for a kind of Art Walk to reacquaint them with the pleasure of art and to get them to relax a bit from the pressure of what they do on a regular basis.
The Skylight Gallery is near the main entrance of the UW Medical Center. The exhibit runs through May 28.
