Rose State: Images of Community

May 3 - 13, 2018 | Fairgrounds

Images of Community was a photography exhibition curated by art history students at Rose State College. The exhibit featured students and professional artists striving to showcase the communities that they love and belong to. Through the diverse lenses of our photographers, the wide-ranging work presented different aspects of Oklahoma.

“Community” is a simple word that can have complex meanings: Communities are diverse; communities are personal. Community affiliations evolve: A person is born into some communities and chooses others at different stages in their life. Communities come in many sizes and forms, with various motives, traditions and cultures. Community can be represented by a location or even a special building. A community often enables people to put aside their differences and push towards a common goal or belief.
