Photography: The Experienced and The Next Generation

ZIA Gallery encourages development of the next generation of artist photographers by providing a professional experience through a photography exhibit by high school seniors. “Looking toward the Future of Personal Expression through Fine Arts Photography” consists of selections from the vicinity high school seniors who responded to our outreach.  The students represent Winnetka, Evanston, Highland Park, and Lake Forest. Please support this next generation of young photographers passionate about their creative pursuits.

These student works are displayed during the exhibitions of infrared photography by acclaimed National Geographic photographer Bob Krist and Chicago Uptown street photography captured during the 1970’s by Bob Rehak. In addition, there is a special viewing of John Vlahakis’ impressive photograph “Neverwhere” a large-scale triptych 66” x 144.”  The exhibitions take place February 22 – March 7, 2020.
