The Exhibition
Photographers submit individual images for consideration. Our curators review every submission and select up to 4 images per photographer that together tell a compelling, varied story of Lancaster.
Selected images are printed at 13×19 and framed with picture wire for the gallery's track & hook hanging system. The Regitz Gallery also features mobile art walls (84" × 69" per side) for additional display space.
This exhibition is a community effort. We're looking for collaborators to help plan the show and a gallery sponsor to help cover printmaking costs and opening event refreshments.
