Young photographers’ vision on display

This weekend, the Venice Arts Gallery hosts an opening reception for a new photography exhibit called “Picturing Health,” showcasing more than 50 compelling images captured by young photographers throughout Southern and Central California. Their work reveals more than a bit of tarnish on the Golden State, documenting the community impacts of gang violence, poor nutrition and inadequate health care.

This project was funded by the California Endowment through the Building Healthy Communities initiative, with faith in the power of photojournalism to help expose and correct  inequity and injustice in our society.

The reception takes place Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Venice Arts Gallery, 1702 Lincoln Blvd. in Venice. The exhibit runs from March 12 through April 30. For further information, call (310) 392-0846 or email inquiries to [email protected].
