SHOWS OPENING THIS WEEKEND

The IMAGES 2015 state-wide photography exhibit has been hung at Guilford Art Center. The forecast snowstorm has caused the postponement of the reception and photo auction originally scheduled for tonight, but the awards reception still is on for this Sunday, 22 March, from 2 to 4 PM. This show always delivers, so I expect this year's installation will not disappoint, as it will exhibit just 98 of the nearly 700 images submitted. ... No, none of mine made the cut this year, so I'm already thinking ahead, but I'm planning on being thoroughly entertained by those that did.

The other big regional show scheduled to open on Sunday is the 114th Annual Juried Exhibition of New Haven Paint and Clay Club at John Slade Ely House, 51 Trumbull Street, New Haven. That reception also runs from 2 to 4 PM, so take your pick, or save one for another day.
