Art Lovers’ Travel

Exhibition: Cuba Through 36 Eyes

April 23–May 17, 2014 at Image City Photography Gallery, 722 University Avenue (opening reception Friday April 25, 5 to 9 pm)

In January 2014, the Gallery Council sponsored a week-long trip to Cuba licensed by People to People. The group spent time in Havana, Vinales Valley, Cienfuegos and Trinidad; toured museums, historic sites and artist studios; and enjoyed unique educational experiences. This exhibition features art by 15 of the travelers, their Cuban guide, and two professional Cuban photographers who worked with them. Pictured is Main Street, Vinales by Michelle Turner.
