Ashby Village will be sponsoring a juried photography exhibit featuring the work of its members. The winning photographs will be exhibited from September 8 to October 10 at the LightRoom gallery, 2263 Fifth Street, Berkeley, and at Tomate Cafe, located next door to the LightRoom.

In addition, a slide show of other noteworthy submissions will play continuously at the gallery during the exhibit.

The works for the exhibition have been selected by renowned Berkeley-based photographers Judy Dater, Rob Reiter and Russel Kiehn. The public is invited to attend a reception for the Ashby Village community on Sunday, September 21 from 2 to 5 PM. Come experience the creativity of Ashby Village members.

Ashby Village is a community-based network of people over age 50 living in the greater Berkeley area. It is part of a growing national movement of about 20,000 people, participating in 130 Villages, with 100 more in development. Villages are networks of people who act like extended family, filling the gaps in members’ support systems as they age. Ashby Village is member-driven, supported by volunteers and professional staff. It promotes social, cultural and community-building activities and provides members with practical means for living independently.
