Perspective Gallery is proud to present a show by photographers William Harper and Kaushik Sunder Rajan. Harper’s work titled The Path of Line demonstrates how lines in nature are paths shaped by specific relationships to time, space, nature, and to the history and desires of the line maker. Sunder Rajan’s work, titled Time is Caught Between Breath and Mourning, explores themes of loss and remembrance by attending to the ephemerality of everyday encounters, and the moments of pause and reflection they engender.

Santa returns to Follow Your Nose for pics with your favorite pet.

Santa will also be there during the Hometown Holiday Stroll, 5pm-8pm Thursday December 7th
