Ron Rosenstock's World in Color 

Opens September 18, 2022 

Ron Rosenstock’s World in Color showcases the Central Massachusetts photographer’s fascination with the natural environment and humanity’s place within it. Rosenstock has been an intrepid world traveler captivated by the pursuit of beauty for more than 60 years. He creates images that evoke the earth’s splendor in hopes of inspiring others to become stewards of the planet. This exhibition is the first to exclusively feature his color photography, which demonstrates a willingness to experiment and accept chance as he pursues technical excellence. The exhibition offers vivid glimpses into Rosenstock’s journeys in 12 countries across the world, including the cerulean skylines of Morocco, prismatic cliffs of Iceland, and sepia cityscapes of Italy.
