July First Fridays at The Depot Featuring Erin Harrigan!

Jun 22, 2026
As always, this event is free and open to everyone, and refreshments will be provided by Gaines Group Architects.
 
Series Name: Where The Mountains Meet The Stars

Medium: Photography

Artist Statement: “I enjoy creative exploration and challenging traditional perspectives. You may notice that some of my photography has unique points of focus and what some may call “effects”. All of this is done directly in camera through the use of creative techniques and specialty lenses which include long exposures, light painting, tilt shift lenses and sometimes even free-lensing. I am always happy to share my work, techniques and processes with those who enjoy it.” 

 

Artist Bio: I am a Shenandoah Valley based photographer with a love for sun, sand and all things outdoors. Having lived most of my life in Baltimore, Maryland, the “outdoors”, for me, has always meant the Chesapeake Bay and urban cityscapes. After moving to the valley, I became captivated by the landscapes, wildlife and all of the stars! Photography began as a way for me to simply document the beauty that I was finding as I explored my new home. It has quickly become my outlet, my passion and my means for artistic expression.

 
*Accessibility Note: This building was previously restored from a fire. The elevator shaft is currently not functioning and there is an absence of ramps in the space. Because the show is on the 2nd floor, this may pose an issue for those who have mobility challenges. We are aware of this need and we apologize greatly if this changes your ability to attend.

This event is free and open to everyoneSnacks and refreshments will be served and we look forward to seeing you there!

Each month we host a new artist in our building’s 2nd floor gallery at the Chesapeake Western Depot at 141 W. Bruce St. (second floor entrance is on Chesapeake). Artwork will remain on exhibit through the month. Come view the show anytime and get a tour the Depot!
