June 1 – September 13, 2025
The Griffin is celebrating the beauty of Winchester in Summer of 2025. We welcome all to submit their Winchester stories for a chance to be featured in this exhibition. See details below.
The exhibition will be located on the grounds of the Town Common. The Griffin is excited to see your view of the community through your lens. We are excited to see the vision of the Winchester community including hobbyists using a phone camera as well as photographers both amateur and professional of any age taking us on a visual journey, documenting the people, places, and moments that define our town.
From the local businesses and street corners, along the Riverwalk and bike pathway every part of the town holds a story waiting to be told. Through candid portraits, scenic landscapes, and snapshots of everyday life, the Our Town project aims to create a vibrant tapestry of images that reflect the diverse spirit of our town.
The initiative not only celebrates the beauty of our surroundings but also fosters a deeper connection among neighbors. In our third year presenting this collection of images we are building a collective memory, preserving the unique character of our town for generations to come.
We invited the residents of Winchester to discover the extraordinary moments within the ordinary spaces we call home.
Selecting work from a call for entry, Our Town 2025, will be displayed on the cubes at the Winchester Town Common from June to September 2025, as well as in an online format. Combining landscapes, still-lifes, portraiture, and more, Our Town invites you to witness individual moments woven into a broader community narrative of Winchester.
Our Town is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors: The Griffin Exhibitions Committee, Griffin Directors Circle Patrons and The Winchester Cultural District. We are also grateful for the support of the En Ka Society, Winchester Rotary and Winchester Cultural Council.
