Through Our Eyes
Lancaster, as its own photographers see it.
Through Our Eyes is a community exhibition of Lancaster as the people who photograph it see the city: its faces, its quiet corners, its working days, and the layers of history that surface when you look closely. We invite the city's photographers to share what they see, and we open the gallery to anyone who loves seeing Lancaster through someone else's eyes.

The Exhibition
For the whole month of August, the Regitz Gallery becomes a gathering place for the photographers of Lancaster, a celebration of an art form that's alive in our city, and of the community that keeps it that way.
Photographers submit individual images for consideration. Our curators review every submission and choose individual photographs for the show. Selected images are printed at 13×19 on matte paper and hung with a white matte border. By participating, you keep the prints we make of your work.
The show opens on First Friday, August 7, as part of Lancaster's monthly First Friday in the arts district. We'll gather from 5:00–8:00 PMwith hors d'oeuvres. Come for the photographs, stay for the people making them.
Seeking a Patron
Help us put this show on the walls.
We're seeking a patron who cares about the arts to help underwrite the ink, paper, matting, and a month-long gallery of roughly 40–50 prints.
That support is what lets us welcome the whole community to the Regitz Gallery for the month of August, and gather for hors d'oeuvres on opening night, First Friday, August 7.
Patrons are recognized here on the website and thanked at the opening reception.
