In This Issue New Exhibit Spring Open Submission Quick Links www.valleyphotocenter.com www.alleephotography.com	Dear Fellow photography enthusiasts, Spring is slowly bringing its warmth and sunlight to the valley, birds are singing their spring renditions, and yes, I've even seen some frogs hopping about! As you shake off the winter doldrums, we hope you will join us for next two exhibits of the season. First, the wonderful work of Alfred and Lee Hutt, whose combination of photography and sculpture is stunning. Second, our Spring Open Submission show celebrating Life in our Valley. Please stop by and say hello! We're looking forward to seeing you! Sincerely, Christine Pratt
New Show Opens March 30! Photography and Sculpture : A Marriage Work by Alfred and Lee Hutt Exhibit runs March 30 - April 30, 2010 Gallery Hours are Tues-Fri 11am - 2 pm Please come join us and meet this talented husband and wife team for an opening reception on Sunday April 11 from 2-4 pm. Photography and Art were two of the forces that drew Alfred and Lee to each other when they first met. They married and together have traveled widely, pursuing these interests. The show represents a selection of images that reflect the content of their work...mostly it is about people...a person, who captures the imagination by revealing a compelling aspect of themselves. Caught in the instant the shutter is pressed and then put on paper...or translated into clay in a longer but no less focused way. Are you ready for the Spring Open Submission Show? Exhibit: May 11-June 11, 2010 Theme: "Life in the Valley" People, places, events? Show us your vision of life in our unique valley.
