Photography plays a starring role in our new exhibition season! What better way to celebrate the opening of Welcome to Brookhill and elevate your photography skills than with a photo walk around the Levine Center for the Arts campus?

During the exploration, participants will focus on composition, using the rule of thirds and how to incorporate alternative ways of "seeing" subjects and objects.
