Simply Love
Presented by Heather Hughes Photography, Simply Love is a black and white photographic exhibition featuring local families and showcasing the importance of displaying photography that captures love, joy & togetherness.
Portraits of Hampton Roads children, youth, and adults are accompanied by personal stories about love, kindness, and how that love and kindness have positively impacted them, their lives, or their role in the community.
The goal of this exhibition is to spread love and understanding within our community while showcasing the importance of printing & displaying family photographs to pass on personal stories of love, joy & togetherness.
Join us for an opening reception on December 11 from 6-8pm featuring a live performance from the Soundscapes Performance Ensemble. Free and open to the public, with light refreshments served. RSVPs are appreciated.
