On Wednesday, October 11th, from 7:00 to 9:00pm, the monthly meeting of the OCAG Photo Group will host an evening with Amy Becker.
A recent recipient of a New Jersey Council on the Arts Fellowship Grant and widely exhibited and published artist, she’ll be presenting work, with a Q and A to follow. Becker’s work is interesting, provocative, and fun, and the evening, along with the opening reception for the exhibit, is not to be missed by anyone interested in visual art.
If you missed the Awards Ceremony and didn’t get to see show it is up until Oct 28 or images can be viewed here:
