Friday, October 20 | 7:0010:00 p.m.

Photography has always been the perfect medium for recording ones life. Contemporary artists Tina Barney, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Nan Goldin, Sally Mann, and Larry Sultan use their own daily experiences as inspiration and offer viewers a glimpse into their private realities. Just as no two people keep the same diary, each of these five photographers has created highly personal, shifting, and intriguing visions of his or her life. The Evening Associates are proud to be the lead sponsor of this exciting exhibition. Join us for Whats Your Story? event on October 20. For more programs and events related to this exhibition please visit www.artic.edu/aic/exhibitions/story. The exhibition closes December 3, 2006.
