SUMMARY:Faces of Life
DESCRIPTION:Weekends Jan. 10–31\, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Burl Gallery. Free. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaces of Life is a powerful and intimate photography exhibition by artist Gregory Gilbert that centers on 20 individuals receiving hospice care. Through these portraits\, Gilbert seeks to honor the lives and humanity of his subjects while challenging common misconceptions about hospice\, particularly the idea that it signals immediate death. Instead\, the exhibit highlights dignity\, resilience and connection during life’s final chapter. The opening reception on January 10 from 1–3 p.m. offers an opportunity to meet the artist and engage with the work in a welcoming setting. The exhibit is open weekends throughout January and invites thoughtful reflection and conversation.More info: burlgallery.com
