A photography exhibit by fine arts faculty member Dennis DeHart will inaugurate a new art gallery in a Hollywood landmark frequented by film and music titans.

“Concentrate to the Quiet” will run Aug. 2-Sept. 16 at SPOT Photo Works in the buildings known as “Crossroads of the World” at 6679 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Calif. An opening reception will be 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2.

DeHart is compelled by the connections, conflicts and intersections of the natural and cultural worlds: “My main concern is expressing interconnections – that what we do in our own backyard has a broader effect on the larger world we live in.”

You are invited to travel the byways of eastern Washington, Oregon and Idaho with photographer Dennis DeHart at The Evergreen State College. DeHart, a TESC graduate who teaches photography at WSU, has trained his lens on many of the out-of-the-way places in the Northwest to provide an insider’s look at the oddities and the beauty of the region and a look into the devastating effects of industry on once pristine lands.

He approaches his photographic journey with an artist’s eye for color and composition and with obvious sympathy, and even reverence, for the land and its people. Not to mention a quirky sense of humor.
