New Photography Exhibit "KIN" Opening at The Art Center Highland Park

KIN: someone or something of the same or similar kind.

March 2^nd – April 5^th, 2012
Opening Reception Friday, March 2^nd, 6:30 – 9pm

Our kin is a web of social relationships - our clan, our tribe, our people. As we have evolved through time, the desire for family becomes centered less on the nexus of blood relations, and has shifted to shared cultural interests as a base for social identity. This March, The Art Center of Highland Park presents an exhibition of photographic work depicting groups of kindred souls, whose basis of kinship seeks to broaden the very definition of the word. Focusing largely on youth culture, KIN explores some of the ties that bind us: family, neighborhood, sport and music. Featuring artists Andres Laszlo Konrath, Brian Sorg, Christopher Semel, Gary Briechle, Jeffrey Wolin, Leasha Overturf and Paul Elledge.

Join us Friday, March 2^nd from 6:30 – 9:00pm for the opening reception of KIN: someone of something of the same or similar kind, curated by Jason Robinette.

KIN continues through April 5^th; gallery hours are Monday – Saturday, 9am – 4:30pm. Call ahead to ensure gallery availability.
