The Griffin is celebrating the beauty of Winchester in Summer of 2023.
In the insightful “Preface” for a collection of his Three Plays, renowned playwright Thornton Wilder advocated for finding “a value above all price for the smallest events in our daily life.” Inspired by the profound themes explored in Wilder’s play of the same title, the Griffin Museum of Photography is thrilled to present, Our Town, a public art installation and community exhibition. Echoing Wilder’s poignant reflection on beauty found in the simple places, we invited the residents of Winchester to discover the extraordinary moments within the ordinary spaces we call home.
Combining landscapes, still-lifes, portraiture, and more, Our Town invites you to witness individual moments woven into a broader community narrative of Winchester.
The photographers included in the exhibition are (in alphabetical order)
Alex Li, Amanda Cobbold, Amy Murgatroyd, Andrea Zampitella, Bill Chapman, Christine Fratto, Danielle Marquardt, Deborah Johnson, Frank Tadley, Hope Pashos, Janice Eyden, Katalina Simon, Mario Moreira, Mark Flannery, Michael Burka, Patty Mihelich and Thomas Hardjono.
Our Town is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors: the The Winchester Cultural District, Winchester Cultural Council and the En Ka Society.
