The exhibition also includes photographic reproductions from the archives of Cincinnati Art Club’s 135-year history. Artist Members have manipulated images by hand coloring, photo editing, embroidery and mixed media. Also, the Art Academy of Cincinnati Alumni are showing sizable images of local scenes. By exhibiting these groups of artists together this exhibition provides not only an overview of the current photographic community but a ‘long view’ back and forward, placing the present in a continuum of possibilities.
