Christopher Jarvis Art Reception

You've Been Here Before: Photography by Christopher Jarvis

Opening Reception: Sunday, July 14 — 2:00 pm
Artist Talk at 3:00 pm

Christopher Jarvis is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer, and musician based in Detroit.

In July, he’ll have his first ever exhibition of his breathtaking photographs on display at the Ferndale Library, each capturing dreamlike, surrealistic images of rural landscapes, desolate suburbs and cityscapes, each echoing with the hints of a human presence or the subtle beauty of everyday life.

Jarvis’ film work has been screened at several regional festivals as well as internationally (UK, Portugal, and Brazil). Jarvis’ exhibition at the library is also part of the summer-long NOVA24 Photo+Film Festival.

Join us on Sunday, July 14, for this special reception, featuring an Artist Talk (moderated Q&A) at 3pm, + live music and refreshments!

The Art and Exhibitions Committee’s mission is to promote and foster an appreciation of two and three-dimensional art for library patrons, through exhibits, lectures, and an expanded collection of art books.
