- Now through February 28, 2025 – Camilla Bell (Holga Photography) and Gary Rubin (Drawings) at City Hall Gallery. Camilla Bell’s work contains black-and-white photographs taken on medium format film using a plastic camera called a Holga. Camilla’s photography is centered around interesting compositions of light and shadow, symmetry, and repetitive textures. Gary Rubin’s drawings are of subjects that evoked an emotion or tapped into one of the many feelings fueled by the challenges of the COVID and racial injustice pandemics
