Ironwood - A Through the Lens art exhibit, on display in the Historic Ironwood Theatre entrance, opens today.
Local scenery, captured by area photographers, is hung on the walls with care.
Images strike out from the walls of a senior couple basking in their glory together as they look out a window stand in contrast to a young Jennifer Lawrence look-alike holding a shotgun, titled, "Shotgun Wedding."
Other local scenes like the Keystone Bridge in Ramsay and the shores of Lake Superior reflect the area's beauty and scenery. Most of the photos are on sale, with purchases made next door through the Downtown Art Place.
DAP is hosting a reception on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m., where many of the artists will be on hand to discuss their images.
Polly Barbacovi, DAP volunteer, said awards will be handed out Saturday to the winning photos, with a discussion on how the selections were made and what specific criteria in judging was important for the award selections.
