"Reframing America" Photography by Jay Reed on Exhibit at Carnegie

Locals will have an opportunity this coming week to view the collective work of returning native Jay Reed.

The photography exhibit "Reframing America" highlighting different landscapes from all over North America will be available for viewing from Wednesday, July 2 through Saturday, July 5 in the Northeast Gallery at the Carnegie Heritage & Arts Center at 110 East Vincennes Street in Linton, Indiana.

Jay says, " I was raised right here in Linton and through the passage of so many years it has remained my shoreline, a constant in a world of change. Much of my family and many of my friends reside here. My roots run deep in the rich Indiana soil and it still feels like home."

Not claiming to be an artist or photographer, Jay gives the credit to God who created the canvas upon which he becomes the observer with a tool capable of recording it for others to find some fraction of joy from the photographs.

Each image resonates a special place within the artist and stirs the deep passion that he has for this great land we call America.

Jay currently resides in the seaside town of Santa Rosa Beach on Florida's beautiful Panhandle Beaches and has returned to his native Linton to share his intimate look at the American landscape one image at a time.

A reception will be held July 5 from 12-4 p.m. at the Carnegie and Jay will also be in attendance at the exhibit on July 4 from 12-4 p.m. Gallery hours for July 2-3 will be 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Stop by, meet the artist and enjoy the varied landscapes reframing America!

Hope to see you there!
