Williamsburg is celebrating 250. A year later—but still festive—we are counting down to a full weekend of festivities on July 15-16-17. Meekins already has one special offering in place—a new photograph exhibition—“Local Eyes.”
Created for the town’s official 250th anniversary celebration, 7 photographers, Rochelle Wildfong, Jim Weigang, Eric Weber, Helen Symons, David McIntyre, Elaine Hyde, and Daria D’Arienzo share what they see in our town as they look through “local eyes.”
Each photographer offers photographs relating to something in or about Williamsburg and Haydenville. Photographs include nature photographs, scenery, people, events, buildings, streetscapes—virtually anything connected to Williamsburg and Haydenville in some way.
This is just a sample of what you will see: R. Wildfong’s portrait of sisters at story time; J. Weigang’s night view of Comet NEOWISE; E. Weber’s Kellogg Farm gnarled white oak; H. Symon’s Graves Farm Sanctuary landscape; D. McIntyre’s miniscule salamander egg; E. Hyde’s Lawton Hill Farm sunrise; D. D’Arienzo’s bright fall foliage fence.
Come to the Meekins’ Neil Hammer Gallery in the Hawks~Hayden Community Room to see what your neighbors “see” from behind the lens—from the minute to the magnificent—from the familiar to the unfamiliar—it is all there. The exhibition will be up through August, 2022.
