Looking Through: 1997–2025 New York Series Photgraphy Exhibit

Description

Dutchess Community College’s (DCC) Mildred I. Washington Gallery will present “Looking Through: 1997–2025 New York Series,” a solo exhibition of photographs by Jason Torres, on view Nov. 5–Dec. 12. The show captures nearly three decades of street and documentary photography reflecting the vibrant character and cultural rhythm of New York.

An opening reception will be held Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 5 p.m., followed by a gallery talk with the artist on Monday, Nov. 17, at 2 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.

A professional photographer, street photographer and visual artist, Torres once taught photography at DCC and returns this fall with a collection that pays tribute to both the city that shaped his artistic lens and his cultural roots. His work celebrates the texture, energy and diversity of Latino and New York life—extending the College’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month into November.

The exhibit is free and open to the public Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Docent-led tours are available on Saturdays by appointment. Visitors are advised to park in Lot D (GPS address: 97 Cottage Road, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601). Accessible parking is available at the top of the hill outside the gallery entrance.
