COCC Hosts Student Photography Exhibit

Through Jan. 31
Gallery in the Pinckney Center, COCC Bend Campus
Free; public is welcome
Info: 541-383-7510

The photography of current Central Oregon Community College students will be exhibited through the end of January in the Gallery of the Pinckney Center for the Arts in Pence Hall on the COCC Bend Campus.
The exhibit is of images created by photography students in classes taught by Paula Bullwinkel, professional photographer and master printer from New York City.
Students shot, developed, hand-printed and toned or hand-colored using black-and-white film.
“The last few terms, these classes have had quite a waiting list, so people are willing to learn a “slow” art as compared to digital photography,” said Bullwinkel.
The Gallery is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. For information, call 541-383-7510.
In advance of college events, persons needing accommodation or transportation because of a physical or mobility disability, contact Joe Viola: 541-383-7775. For accommodation because of other disability such as hearing impairment, contact Anne Jenkins: 541-383-7743.
