When the sun sets and the world grows quiet, a different kind of vision comes alive... Join us at the Lexington Community Center to celebrate From Her Lens: an exhibition that gathers the work of women night photographers from across the globe, offering a luminous collection of perspectives shaped by patience, curiosity, and wonder. Come explore the photographs, talk with the artists and enjoy light refreshments.  Night photography has long been a field where women’s voices are less visible, yet their artistry has always been present—transforming darkness into stories of light. This exhibition celebrates that vision as a contribution that expands the way we see the night.  Through each photograph, viewers are invited into a dialogue between shadow and glow, silence and discovery—a testament to the richness women bring to the nocturnal canvas. This exhibit will be on display at the Community Center from January 1st to February 28th, 2026.  Sponsored and curated with Lexington Recreation and Community Programs and Imaginoor Photography.  https://carylibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/offsite-from-her-lens-art-exhibit-reception/
