From now until Dec. 12, 2003, the University Gallery is hosting a special kind of exhibit entitled “Aftermath: Images from Ground Zero.”

The photographical display consists of images marking the two-year anniversary of September 11th and highlights the bombing of the World Trade Center. The exhibit’s photographer, Joel Meyerowitz, began shooting film on site on September 28, 2001.

According the to University Gallery’s Web site, Meyerowitz is the only photographer who has been allowed unrestricted access to Ground Zero in Manhattan.

Those who think art galleries are uninteresting or even boring will find that the University Gallery comes alive with the images presented within this ephemeral exhibit.

The exhibit is located in Herter Hall, across from Bartlett Hall, and is in close proximity to the Southwest Residential area and the Fine Arts Center.

The Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., as well as Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, please visit the Gallery website at http://www.umass.edu/fac/calendar/universitygallery/index.html or call 413-545-3670.
