Intention of the Show
PL130 Gallery is proud to announce our University Student Show: Photography In the Time of Covid. This show celebrates the work made by college students since the beginning of Covid. Students having to adapt to online learning, needing to move back home, and not having important resources at their fingertips has dramatically impacted and changed the college experience. Because of this, we wanted to put on a show that highlights the creativity and innovativeness students have had to face while taking photos during the pandemic. This show also gives three featured students an opportunity to receive PhotoLounge’s Student Award in memory of Jerry Brown which will be announced at the end of April.
This show will be on view from March 14 - April 24, 2022. A reception is scheduled for April 1, 2022 in the evening.
