Glaser’s ‘Beneath the Surface’ Appears in MTSU
Baldwin Photographic Gallery Until April 15
(MURFREESBORO, TN) – An exhibit by Karen Glaser titled “Beneath the Surface,” opened March 1 and will be on display until April 15 in MTSU’s Baldwin Photographic Gallery, officials with the gallery said today.
Glaser became enthralled with underwater photography after she was given an Instamatic underwater camera as a birthday present in 1983. Her various underwater series, shot on tropical reefs and in pristine Florida springs, have been exhibited in prestigious museums and other venues around the nation and abroad.
Her underwater photographs of manatees are documented in the book, “Mysterious Manatees,” published by the University Press of Florida.
Exhibitions are free and open to the public.
For information, call 615-898-2085. A public lecture by the photographer will be held starting at 7:30 p.m. March 15 in Learning Resources Center Room 221, with a reception after in the gallery.
Baldwin Photographic Gallery [McWherter LRC] hours are 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from noon until 4 p.m. on Saturdays. The gallery will be closed Friday, March 12, for a university holiday.
