The PHC's A Month of Photography exhibition will display eclectic styles and techniques from established and emerging local artists. Take an adventure to remote parts of the world with Paul Teolis's award-winning photos and explore Dan Guerin's personal dreamscapes of the natural world. You can also experience Chris Blanchenot's provocative photographs and see the acclaimed works of local artist Marissa Neave. Many of these artists will be in attendance at the reception on Sept. 8 to answer questions and discuss their photographs.

"The Peel Heritage Complex is committed to discovering, developing and promoting local emerging talent in the visual arts," says David Somers, Curator of the PHC. "The purpose of this exhibition is to expand appreciation for photography as an artistic medium."

Sponsored by Nikon Canada, A Month of Photography provides local artists with the opportunity to display their work in local galleries, hospitals and restaurants across Mississauga and Brampton.
