June 28, 2019 (All day) The Capital City Arts Initiative presents an exhibition, "The Lay of the Land," by artist Fred Howland in the Community Center’s Sierra Room, 851 E William Street, Carson City. The exhibition runs now through June 30, 2019. CCAI will host a reception for the artist on Friday, March 29, 5-7pm in the Sierra Room, and the artist will give a brief talk about his photography at 5:30 p.m.
Howland’s passion is to create a sense of time and place through his photographs. He returns to favorite sites to work, like Hope Valley and Genoa, returning to take repeat images in different seasons and lighting. His interest in landscapes go back to his New England roots where he was more comfortable in the outdoors than in school classrooms.
From his early art training, he continues to prefer making photographs in black/white stating that he “sees in black and white” and commented that he’d never made the transition into color photography. Howland said, “It’s the lighting on the landscape that I photograph. If the lighting is right, I’ll take the shot. Otherwise, there’s no photograph.”
Howland’s interest in photography started while attending Lexington High School in Massachusetts. In his senior year, his first solo exhibit took place at the Gary Memorial Library. He studied fine art at the Montserrat School of Visual Arts and turned to photography at Rochester Institute of Technology. At R.I.T. he learned the importance of the science behind the art. For the twenty+ years Fred has resided in northern Nevada where he enjoys the beauty and variety of landscapes that comes with the ever-changing weather.
He has won numerous awards both in California and Nevada and his black/white work has been published in Nevada Magazine and Nevada Appeal. Currently his work can be found in Carson City at Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery and the Nevada Artists Association Gallery located in the Brewery Art Center. His website is fredhowlandphotography.com
This spring, Howland will give talks about his art practice to art students and faculty at Carson and Dayton high schools.
The Sierra Room is open to the public during Carson City official meetings including the first/third Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and many afternoons, Monday - Thursday, 5pm - 8pm. For Sierra Room access, call 775.283.7421 or check meeting schedules online at www.carson.org/government/meetings-and-events
