Panorama photographs by long-time PAG member Kurt Norlin are featured at the UofO's Law School Gallery through Jan. 4. The gallery is located on the second floor of the Law School on Agate Street across from Hayward Field. "Double Vision" features both color and b+w panos of Eastern Oregon and the Willamette Valley. The Valley images are the most recent, made this spring and summer expressly for this exhibit, according to Kurt. Some of the work in the show was created using a panoramic film camera and some with digital cameras and software. Exhibit curator Dom Vetri invites viewers to "enjoy the exquisite beauty and calmness Kurt's photos portray." An opening reception will be held on Thursday Oct. 7 from 4 - 7pm.

The PhotoArts Guild was originally formed by five photographers in 1988 who wanted a forum for feedback and critique to encourage their growth as image makers. It became affiliated with the Corvallis Art Center in the early 1990s and currently has over 40 members. For information on the PAG's goals and membership, click 'more'
