The 1996 Lynchburg Area Juried Photography Show, open to all photographers within a 150-mile radius of Lynchburg, will be on display from Sept. 8 through Oct. 12 in the center's Dillard Gallery.
Artists may submit up to three entries, which should be delivered to the center Aug. 30 between noon and 4 p.m. or Aug. 31 from 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Original, photographically derived works completed since January 1993 are eligible submissions. The entry fee is $15.
