May
The Delaware Division of the Arts Mezzanine Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photographs by Yaprak Soysal during the month of May. My Human and I is an exhibition of photographs featuring dogs. It will be on view from May 6-27, 2016, with an artist reception on Friday, May 6 from 5-7 p.m.
The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
Ms. Soysal attributes her interest in street and documentary photography to her fascination with life, people, and stories. Her photographs document dogs with people in a variety of situations from affectionate moments with owners to action shots of dogs working with police trainers. Her photography earned an Honorable Mention from the Delaware Division of the Arts in 2015.
