Newburyport Art presents Fleeting Moments: Photography by Geordie Vining

 Newburyport Art (NAA) is excited to announce Fleeting Moments: Spontaneous Photography by Featured Artist Geordie Vining.

Geordie Vining has worked as the Senior Project Manager for the Newburyport Planning Office for 25 years. Among many projects, Geordie managed the creation of the Clipper City Rail Trail from concept to completion. He also managed design and construction of the Senior Community Center, the John F. Cutter Jr. Fire Station, and the Harbormaster Visiting Boater Facility, as well as co-founded the award-winning Newburyport Black History Initiative.

Outside of his work for the Newburyport Planning Office, Geordie is a photographer who focuses on capturing a range of unplanned photographs of unique “fleeting moments.” Vining writes, “Such pictures can speak to the human condition, tell a story, and hold on to a glimpse of fleeting beauty.” His photographs are nearly all spontaneous and unplanned, ranging from close-ups to wide shots, and from vibrant colors to classic black-and-white. The images are of people; townscapes and cityscapes; landscapes; the natural world; and abstract or ambiguous scenes. Many of the pictures are of his home in New England, but also from other parts of the United States, as well as countries like Norway, Portugal, Canada, France, England, Italy, Croatia, Japan, and a growing list of others. Fleeting moments transform into art.

Join us for a free opening reception on Wednesday, September 2, 5:00pm-7:00pm. Fleeting Moments: Spontaneous Photography is partially supported by the Newburyport Cultural Council, West Newbury Cultural Council, and Mass Cultural Council.

The galleries are free and open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00am–5:00pm. Newburyport Art is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The ground-floor Hills Gallery has an accessible entrance. More information, as well as an online gallery is available at newburyportart.org.
