The View From Now

Cleveland-area artists Linda Butler, Jennie Jones, and Judith McMillan have all been exploring the photographic medium for decades, with subjects ranging from intimate botanical studies to Cleveland architectural landmarks to China’s Yangtze River valley as it was flooded in an enormous hydroelectric project. Each artist has earned a place of honor in the arts community with her own distinctive vision and superb craft, and each has numerous works in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The new exhibition “The View from Now: New Photographs by Linda Butler, Jennie Jones, and Judith MacMillan,” presents a unique opportunity to see brand-new work by three of Cleveland’s most venerable photographic artists. The Heights Arts show is the first to feature these three together in a show built around their current projects, which focus on Cleveland-area subjects ranging from hatchling birds on a windowsill to the grand expanse of Lake Erie. While all three have often previously worked in black-and-white, the photographs show here are all in color.  The View from Now continues a commitment by Heights Arts to organize fine exhibitions of photography for the broad yet discerning audience that visits the gallery near the Cedar-Lee Theater.
