Natura Naturans - Photographs By Melany Sarafis

Buddy Holly Center is pleased to announce the opening of Natura naturans on 11 June.
Melany Sarafis creates photographs featuring vistas of stunning natural areas - places with dark skies, no crowds and amazing landscapes. Many of these images were taken during her recent tenure as the Artist in Residence at Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. This exhibit includes images from state and national parks and untamed lands in Texas, California, Utah, Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. Please join us for First Friday Art Trail on July 1st and August 5th, from 6-9 PM. (The artist will be in attendance for the Art Trail event in August.)

The show will continue until mid- August and may be seen at the Foyer Gallery at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock Texas. Located on 19th and Crickets

Melany Sarafis Receives Best In Show In Illuminance Photography Exhibit

Melany Sarafis' photograph, Night Sky Over Rural Texas, was named Best in Show in the Illuminance photography competition. Illuminance 2015 is a national competitive exhibition featuring photographic work from thirty-two artists. This biennial event provides an opportunity for photographers at all levels to share their artwork. This year's juror is Rixon Reed of Santa Fe's photoeye gallery.

2015 Theme: The Feeling of the Rural Night. From Brassaï’s Paris de Nuit (Paris by Night) to Todd Hido’s recent body of work of homes and streets after dark, photographers have captured the distinctly different feeling that pervades nighttime. The curtain of darkness can enhance mystery and intrigue, elicit fear or wonder, and create a wide variety of responses that are different from a person’s daytime experience.

Join us at The Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock Texas at 3 PM on Saturday, August 15th for a closing reception, award presentation, and gallery talk by juror Rixon Reed.
