Middletown. SUNY Orange hosts the Art of Photography exhibit

An exhibit entirely devoted to photography has been installed in Orange Hall Gallery and will be on view July 27 through Sept. 7.

The Art of Photography is an eclectic show of realistic to abstract works in various styles, subjects, techniques, methods, sizes, in color and in black and white, printed on many surfaces and substances, common and unconventional.

Ninety-three works by twenty-three photographers demonstrate the art in photography. While photography is a means of recording events, the art in photography focuses on creativity, details and thought process rather than mere snapshots.

Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.to 8 p.m., and Fridays, 8 a.m.to 5 p.m. The college is closed July 28 and Sept. 4 and weekends.

Come to the reception and enjoy viewing the photographic works and meet the photographers while listening to contemporary and classical favorites played by pianist Bev Poyerd on Friday, Aug. 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Orange Hall is located at the corner of Wawayanda and Grandview Avenues at GPS 24 Grandview Ave, Middletown.

The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. For additional information and questions, email Cultural Affairs at cultural@sunyorange.edu and consult the website www.sunyorange.edu/culturalaffairs.
