The Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council (GPCAAC) brings a rarely viewed collection of 50 compelling photographs from Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Eddie Adams. His 45-year career covered thirteen wars and amassed 500 photojournalism awards. He photographed five presidents and numerous other world dignitaries.
The exhibition will open on Saturday, August 7, and remains on view through Sunday, November 14. Visitors will be encouraged to post their responses to the exhibition on a special Arts Council facebook page devoted exclusively to the Eddie Adams Exhibit. We are encouraging individuals to upload video posts as well as written posts about their experiences. The exhibition is also accompanied by a letter-writing station and an audio feature with music of the period.
The exhibition opens with a free public reception featuring a Colour Guard on
Saturday, August 7, from 11:30 a.m. -12:15 p.m. at TAG (The Arts Garage), 317 W. Perry Street, Port Clinton. Workshops based on Tim O’Brien’s book “The Things They Carried” will take place in August and September, exploring the physical and emotional weight of war.
Please note that many of the photographs in this exhibition may be disturbing to some viewers. GPCAAC is working with Safe Haven Behavioral Health Services to provide counseling throughout the event.
