HMCP Benefit Exhibition and Print Sale
The exhibit and sale is a collaboration between the museum and contributing students from Hallmark Institute of Photography. It will showcase over one-hundred fifty professional- level, donated photographs having appeal to a wide range of tastes and preferences in visual art.
The very broad and diverse selection of photographic subjects make this
an exhibit of interest to everyone. Amongst the photographs on show
will be found landscape and seascape scenes, flowers and wildlife,
intimate nature studies, portraits of children, pets and interesting
faces, abstract and color-infused subjects that defy verbal
description, architectural detail studies, and numerous other
fascinating subjects. All are available for purchase framed or unframed
and, are modestly priced.
Doctors Without Borders delivers emergency aid to people affected by
armed conflict, epidemics, natural and manmade disasters, or exclusion
from health care in more than 70 countries. Volunteer doctors, nurses,
water-and-sanitation experts, administrators and other medical and
non-medical professionals depart on more than 3,800 aid missions
annually. Providing essential health care, rehabilitating hospitals and
clinics, performing surgery, battling epidemics, carrying out
vaccination campaigns, operating feeding centers for
malnourished children, these volunteers frequently work in the most
remote or dangerous parts of the world.
Doctors Without Borders decision to intervene in any country or crises
is based solely on an independent assessment of peoples needs - not on
political, economic, or religious interests. It does not take sides or
intervene according to the demands of governments or warring parties.
Volunteer students from the Professional Photography program at HIP
will assist museum staff in preparation of the exhibit and hosting
museum visitors, as well as acting as sales clerks. No purchase is
required to view the exhibition and the museum never charges
an admission fee.
