The Long Exposure Opening Celebration
Saturday, September 20, 2025
4 to 7 p.m.
Free
As McColll closes out their year-long celebration of 25 years of McColl Center, join them for their culminating exhibition, The Long Exposure, honoring the artists of the latter years—from 2009 to today. Enjoy a full-house celebration with music by DJ See Bird Go and food from House of Flavors.
About the Exhibition
The Long Exposure is not merely a retrospective; it is a testament to time as a creative force. Each image in this exhibition forms part of a sustained vision—an archive of persistence, transformation, and deep artistic investment.
This body of work asks us to look beyond the immediate. What emerges is a layered narrative—one that honors memory, marks change, and reflects a creative life lived with intention. These images do more than document, they endure.
For the past fifteen years, photographer Chris Edwards and artist-educator Ben Premeaux, have skillfully documented the artists of McColl.
Curated by Melissa Stutts.
