Reception
All are invited to join us for a reception celebrating the current exhibition and the arrival of Beth Saunders, Ph.D., the new curator and head of UMBC’s Special Collections and Library Gallery.

Depth of Field presents approximately one-hundred images acquired over the last ten years by UMBC's Photography Collections through generous gifts from donors and artists. The photographs on view highlight the breadth and depth of the collection and illustrate the range of forms, technology, and artists that historically shaped the medium and are presently impacting its ongoing evolution.
