Free Photography Exhibit at Phoenix College Features Ansel Adams, Edward Weston

Free Photography Exhibit at Phoenix College Features
Ansel Adams, Edward Weston

As Phoenix College celebrates 90 years of serving the community, the college’s renowned photography collection is being commemorated with Celebrating Photography at Phoenix College: A Retrospective View. The free exhibit in Fannin Library includes works by Ansel Adams, Olivia Parker, Edward Weston, and Minor White.

The historical significance of the collection dates back at least five decades when the legendary Allen Dutton, Professor Emeritus and founder of the Phoenix College photography program, began acquiring pieces by notable photographers. Approximately half of the more than 200 pieces on exhibit were personally chosen by Dutton, for whom Phoenix College’s new Center for Photography was recently dedicated.
