Press release

The Arts Council of Greater New Haven presents Spectra 2011 in the Sumner McKnight Crosby Jr. Gallery, at 70 Audubon St., 2nd floor. The exhibition will be on display from Thursday, May 19 through Friday, July 8. An artists’ reception is scheduled for Thurs., May 19, from 5—7 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

Spectra 2011 is the annual members show of the Photo Arts Collective, an Arts Council program whose mission is to cultivate and support a community of individuals who share an interest in photography, through workshops, lectures, exhibitions, portfolio reviews, group critiques, and special events.

Penny Cook, who organizes the annual show, said this year’s exhibition is highlighted by a diverse variety of genres and styles that come together to create a “surprisingly cohesive array of views through each photographer’s unique lens.”

Open to Arts Council members, the Photo Arts Collective meets the first Thursday of each month at the Kehler Liddell Gallery, 873 Whalley Ave., New Haven.
