The exhibit will run from November 3 through December 30 and will offer nearly 300 captivating images of Newtown and beyond — most available for purchase.

The public is invited to an opening reception on Sunday, November 9, from 2 to 4 pm, when guests can meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments.
