What's Been Popping Up at the CAC?

This month, we are hosting a brilliant exhibition of photographs created in collaboration by two local individuals: Photographer Steve Leibrand and Strand Theatre Manager Kara Long!
The focus of this display are the hidden places and objects within the Historic Strand Theatre, a prospering non-profit movie theater that has been operating in Delaware, Ohio since 1916!  Kara and Steve set out to capture the beauty, the folklore, and the history of the theater with the exhibition:

Strand Theatre: Scenes from Behind the Screen!

Come in during our gallery hours (Fridays 4-7pm & Saturdays 2-7pm) to see this spectacular show!  In addition to the elegantly executed photographs, on display are artifacts that showcase moments throughout the Strand's long-running history.  See the beautifully restored Film Projector from the 1920's along with instruction manuals from decades ago and an old film splicer, plus much more!

The Opening Reception on First Friday was a popping success :)
