Dave Liggett's Photography Featured at The Artist Within

September at the Artist Within will feature the photography of Ohioan Dave Liggett.

The gallery will have the First Thursday opening reception September 3rd from 5-8pm.

A native of Circleville, Ohio, Dave Liggett has been taking pictures for as long as he can remember. Dave loves to combine photography with travel and some of his favorite subjects are landscapes, animals, people, and decaying buildings.

Dave's favorite camera to use is his 4x5--through which he exposes one 4"x5" inch sheet of film at a time--and he enjoys the craftsmanship of film photography which includes developing and printing his own black-and-white negatives. Digital photography has become a necessity in order to meet the quick turnaround times involved with his freelance work.

Dave shows his work mostly in the central Ohio area but individual pieces are exhibited around the world. Some of Dave's photography has been published by National Geographic Kids' Magazine, The New York Times, Africa Geographic, and The World Atlas of Great Apes and Their Conservation. See more of Dave's photography at www.DaveLiggett.com .

The exhibit will be on display through Sept. 26.


ArtsWalk, which is traditionally the First Thursday in October, will be held in conjunction with the "Governor's Arts Awards". This year is the first time the prestigious award presentation will be held in a city other than Indianapolis. The actual award ceremony is to be held on Friday, September 25th at Cornerstone Center for the Arts.

The yearly ArtsWalk will become the "Governor's ArtsWalk" and will be held from 5-9pm on Thursday, September 24th. Live entertainment, art exhibits and demonstrations will fill the streets of Downtown as we showcase the arts that are such a vibrant part of our community.
