JR Harke Photography is showing three new pieces of art in the October show at the Del Ray Artisans Gallery located at 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA. The theme of the October show is "Arts Build Communities" and the opening reception is scheduled October 2.
"One of the pieces of art I have in this show is my favorite image of the blooming of the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. It features the Jefferson Memorial in the background with a perfect canopy of cherry blossoms around the focal point of the photograph," Harke said. "Another piece on exhibit this month is a beautiful shot of Mount Rushmore. I think that both the cherry blossom photo and the Mount Rushmore photo are strong indicators of how art builds communities. Both of those images have a significant history that spans across both patriotism and a sense of coming together in a community of Americans."
The third photograph being exhibited by JR Harke Photography is somewhat different. It shows a very long set of stairs that are found at one end of Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Harke explained, "Art can buil
d communities in many ways. That set of stairs is quite famous having made it's entrance on the worldwide stage in the movie titled The Exorcist. Most people who see the image immediately identify the movie and location, both of which help build and extend a vast community of artists and moviegoers." All of the images are 16" x 20" matted and framed photographs.
An opening reception will be held at the Del Ray Artisans Nicholas A. Collasanto Center from 7-9:30 pm on Friday, October 2. Jerry Harke, along with other artists whose works on exhibit during the October show will be present to meet the public and discuss their art.
