The artists included in the show are: Judy Askew, Betty Anne Bevis, Jessica Bevis, Alan Budney, John Cira, William Clarke, Beverly Cummings, Brittany Curran, Tom Currier, Kathleen Gavin, Ken Gavin, Joe Gouveia, Constantine Gregory, Robin Eliseo, Ruth M.

Photographer John Byland has been intrigued by the relationship between poetry and photography for a long time; “…a poem and a photograph are momentary happenings, as opposed to film and long fiction, which are protracted art forms.” John is a firm believer in the absolute necessity of the arts within society, and their therapeutic value. A civilization that turns its back on the arts abandons its citizenry to darkness
