VERNON — A new exhibit dedicated to all forms of photography opens at Arts Center East, 709 Hartford Turnpike, on Friday.
The photos come from an open call to artists 18 and older to submit their works in film, digital, digital manipulation, or polaroid.
The images capture the world and look at sweeping landscapes, artistic portraits, action shots, and minute details.
Gallery hours are Fridays and Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m. The exhibit runs through Feb. 6.
The exhibit also is viewable online at the arts center website:
Exhibit jurors were Clare Benson, assistant professor of art (photography) at the University of Connecticut, and Alison Shaw of Martha’s Vineyard, director of the Alison Shaw Gallery.
Arts Center East has other themed exhibits scheduled this winter and spring:

• In Bloom, a juried multimedia exhibit of works about the welcoming of spring or as a metaphor for growth, vigor and change we find in ourselves, March 26–April 17. Submission deadline is Wednesday, March 10.
