Allentown X 7: Photographic Explorations

Work from seven area photographers was commissioned for this exhibition, the only guideline being that their art needed to represent Allentown. The resulting body of work includes everything from sensitive portraits and intriguing cityscapes to graffiti painted with light, digitally collaged landscapes, and photography informed by psychics.

Allentown X 7 features new work by Theo Anderson, Vicki DaSilva, Rose DeSiano, Ed Eckstein, Larry Fink, Dan R. Talley, and Luke Wynne. While produced independently, the artists’ works address common themes, such as the city’s relationship to the past and future. Their complex portrait of Allentown today reveals the city’s challenges, beauty, and ongoing transformation.
