Santa Cruz photographers unveil hanging ‘Through Our Eyes’ exhibit – Press Banner

Santa Cruz County is all about its artwork, and Image Crafters, a collective of photographers based mostly in Santa Cruz County who share a ardour for the ability of the printed picture, are thrilled to deliver their imagery to life at “Through Our Eyes 2025,” an upcoming images exhibition on the R. Blitzer Gallery in Santa Cruz.

This vibrant showcase highlights the imaginative and prescient and artistry of eight excellent native photographers, that includes a various assortment of pictures that seize the sweetness, character and spirit of the group—and past.

Unlike within the CODA (Community of Digital Artists) exhibit that the Press Banner lined in April, this present permits every artist to have a wall phase for his or her themed assortment of pictures, and every of these sub-exhibits has roughly 10-15 pictures.

“As a result, this exhibit is larger in image count than the CODA exhibit, but with only eight artists participating. We’re confident it will be an exciting exhibit,” mentioned artist Mark Overgaard, one of many contributors within the occasion.

With this group exhibition, the collective celebrates the timeless artwork of photographic prints—how they protect moments, evoke emotion and inform tales in a single body. Each artist brings their very own perspective, fashion and experience to a thoughtfully curated portfolio, leading to a dynamic and visually compelling exhibition.

As a playful addition, one gallery wall is devoted completely to the colour yellow—that includes a contribution from every artist, together with a nod of approval from none aside from Vincent Van Gogh himself.

Participating artists are: Annelies de Kater, Kathy Edwards, Larry Herzberg, Robert Mahrer, Keith Munger, Kevin Osborn, Mark Overgaard and Michael Singer.

“Through Our Eyes 2025” runs from Aug. 21 by means of Sept. 27 on the R. Blitzer Gallery. The exhibit is open to the general public Thursdays by means of Saturdays from 1-4pm, with further visits out there by appointment.

Visitors are invited to attend the First Friday reception on Sept. 5 from 4-7pm, and the closing reception can be held on Sept. 27 from 1-4pm. The gallery, positioned at 2801 Mission St. in Santa Cruz, gives free admission.
