Joseph Bellows Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, Light Studies. This group show will open on December 7, 2024, and continue through February 1, 2025. The exhibition will feature vintage and contemporary black-and-white photographs that explore light's physical and metaphorical qualities.

Artists included in the exhibition are Oscar Bailey, Lewis Baltz, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Barbara Blondeau, Walter Chappell, Linda Connor, Bevan Davies, Joanne Leonard, Phyllis Dearborn-Massar, Amanda Means, Abelardo Morell, Michael Mulno, Carlos Richardson, LeRoy Robbins, Melissa Shook, Charles Swedlund, Wayne Sorce, Roger Vail, Robert Walch, and Tom Zetterstrom.
