Artist reception
The Chamber Gallery of Art, located in the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, will be holding an Artist's Reception for Ryan Boyce, Real Surrounding Beauty photography, Sept. 8 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. A second event, "Capturing Wine & Candid Moments," will be held in Salem at Liebe Wein Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. Boyce creates photography with a "Why?" With his art, he aims to share, to reflect and to inspire. His photography shares raw, captured beauty of surroundings, records and preserves moments in time so that viewers may reflect on what has been, and inspires others to enjoy the beauty that surrounds them every day. Meet Boyce, see his art, and ask him more about his "Why?" at the artist reception. The Chamber Gallery of Art is a free event and open to the public and is located at 210 E. State St., Salem, inside the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce.
