This exhibition explores Shorey in his various roles: as an observer of his own life and the life of his community at work and at play; as an entrepreneur using the attraction of the local photograph to provide a livelihood and to encourage visitation to his beloved towns of Gorham and Randolph; and as an artist whose sense of place and affection for the White Mountains was mirrored in his images and which was evident in Shorey Studio's tagline, Among the White Hills. Curated by Dr. Peter Crane, curator of Mount Washington Observatory Gladys Brooks Memorial Library. In partnership with the Plymouth State University Museum of the White Mountains (www.plymouth.edu/museum-of-the-white-mountains/exhibitions/guy-shorey/). Exhibiting at the Silver Center through December 10 - Gaetano LaRoche - Painting as Art In this exhibition, LaRoche reflects on nature and the beauty of the natural world. While he studies nature, some of his paintings are nonobjective; they do not have an easily seen image.
