Midwest Memoir Art Exhibit Reception

Michael Knapstein is pleased to share his latest work, Midwest Memoir, with Holy Wisdom Monastery. His goal is to document and immortalize the people and places that define the American Midwest before they vanish. Michael said, “I hope the images in this series which embrace themes of memory, loss, history, heritage, rural identity and sense of place, will resonate with the viewers.” Michael has generously offered to give away one of his photos at the opening reception!
