Garinger, Olympic and Hough high school students recently visited The Light Factory to learn how to use photography and art as a means of expressing their relationship with the environment. As a result, the exhibit Earth Exchange is an outlet of works inspired by the project (including a piece by Hough High School's Graham Merrifield, partly shown here).
Jan. 19-May 13. Opening reception on Feb. 9. The Light Factory (held in Middleton McMillan Gallery), 345 N. College St. 704-333-9755. www.lightfactory.org.
