Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography
March 6 - May 29
With Lasting Light, Laman Library became the first organization in North Little Rock to ever host a Smithsonian exhibit.
Covering nearly 125 years of photographic history, this exhibit of 60 framed images captures the vast and sweeping splendor of the Grand Canyon.
With shots ranging from serene portraits of rippled wading pools to images of early photographers dangling over steep bluffs, Lasting Light offers a glimpse into the greatness of this natural wonder that you'd normally only get with camping equipment and rappelling cables.
The exhibit was created by the Grand Canyon Association and organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES).
