Despite the devastation caused by the storm, the Augusta community showed resilience, solidarity, and heart—Something that many have captured in photography and film. We invite you to share your photos and films for a cumulative exhibit at the Ann and Ellis Johnson Gallery of Art, featuring scenes exploring both grief and hope from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
The show will run from August 15th to October 3rd, with a reception on September 5th!
