"Through the Lens" is a Juried art show to be held at Ardest Gallery in The Woodlands, Texas, just North of Houston between February. The Deadline to apply is Friday, March 6th 11:59 PM.

Photography is more than the capture of light and shadow—it is a deeply personal act of seeing, interpreting, and sharing our world. "Through the Lens" brings together the distinctive perspectives of Texas photographers whose work reminds us that every image is both a window and a mirror: a window into the subject before the camera, and a mirror reflecting the artist's unique way of perceiving reality.

The Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, April 11th 6-8 p.m. with a presentation by the Juror at 7 p.m.

GUEST JURORS- Valerie Yaklin-Brown & Lisa Harris

Valerie Yaklin-Brown is a photographic artist living on a former emu farm in Magnolia, TX. She received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Lamar University in Beaumont, TX. It was there that she developed a passion for black and white photography, especially film and darkroom work. Valerie’s work is inspired by ubiquitous moments and universal life experiences.
