Athens Photo Project (APP) partnered with the City of Athens to create A Thousand Words, a permanent art installation that celebrates the community and landscape of Southeast Ohio as seen through the creative lens of our regional photographers. Photographs presented within the installation will rotate on a biennial basis, and will feature group exhibitions from APP artists and juried exhibitions open to all regional photographers. This inaugural exhibit will feature work by 33 artists who participated in 2016-2017 APP classes.
