Photo Exhibit in Support of Japanese Relief Efforts

Date: Opening and Reception on May 5, 2011 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Exhibition will be throughout the month of May

Venue: Bloomington Bagel Company
Photos of contemporary Japan will be featured in a benefit show at Bloomington Bagel Company’s Dunn Street store in the month of May. Photographers John and Peggy Woodcock have children and grandchildren in Japan, and after March’s earthquake and tsunami they decided to turn their show into a benefit for Japanese victims of the disaster, with the entire proceeds of photo sales going to the Disaster Relief Network in Hokkaido, which has been supplying meals to those displaced by the disaster since the beginning.

There will be an opening reception on Thursday, May 5, from 5 to 7 p.m., which all are welcome to attend. Light refreshments, including Japanese sushi rolls, will be served. Bloomington Bagel Company’s usual offerings will also be available for purchase.

The Woodcocks exhibit their photos regularly in local and regional shows, including the Bloomington Photographic Club’s juried show at IU’s School of Fine Arts Gallery.
