After many months of preparation, the Heart of Concern exhibition
opened at the Maine Workshop's
Maine Media Gallery in Rockport, ME.
This was an especially meaningful venue because Yarka always spoke with
great enthusiasm about her
experience with photographer Maggie Steber's photojournalism class. The
poster image as well as the lead image
in the show was made as part of that workshop.
We would like to thank
everyone
connected with the show, especially the recipients of Yarka Vendrinska
Scholarships who donated works which were
displayed with Yarka's, and those who hung the
show with great
sensitivity for the relationships between images.
