This exhibition seeks to illuminate the evolving narrative of the nation. In observance of the 250th year of the country's founding, the photographers in the exhibition visually interpret what these defining words signify today. The first members' show highlights the talent of the CENTER membership, many of whom are also Review Santa Fe alumni, alongside a host of accomplished local photographers.

The show was juried by Mary Anne Redding, senior curator at The Turchin Center for the Visual Arts in Boone, North Carolina, and the new Exhibitions & Membership Manager, Corn Wagon Thunder. There will be a broad range of work from multiple approaches including social documentary, portraiture, and environmental imagery. Artists include Evan Anderman, Barron Bixler, Jay Tyrrell, Brian Steiff, Wendy Young and 38 others.
