Yellow Springs Photographic Survey

Friday, April 20, 2012 (6-9pm)
Location: YS Arts Council Gallery, 111 Corry Street

In 1980, Nancy Howell-Koehler initiated a project using a process of subject self-photography to capture the impressions of Yellow Springs leaders and to create an interactive experience involving their perspectives on the community’s face at a time of great change for this once isolated village. This graphic historical event celebrates the re-opening of the Yellow Springs Arts Council Gallery, and we will be eliciting the feelings of current YS residents on how our town has developed since the 1970s. This is a time to come together to remember the people and the period.

Disco music and dancing on our outdoor patio start at 6pm, and the YSAC Gallery Re-opening Ceremony begins at 7pm, followed by stories about life in Yellow Springs during the 1970s & 1980s from our guest speakers and attendees. The YS News will be on hand with newspapers from these former times, and this will be a great opportunity for reminiscing. The YSAC Gallery will also be open for the community to view this exhibit on April 21 & 28 and May 5 from 1-4pm.

The '70s. Wasn't that last year? And the '80s last month? Oh, well, not much has changed. Shorter hair, more tattoos, and too many artists. Anything else?
