Although Sunday marks the official end of “Samsara” and the “Classic & Contemporary: Selections from the Paul Paletti Collection” exhibitions, a closing reception was held Friday in the Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries. The event began at 5:15 p.m. and was primarily attended by USI students, faculty and attendees from the “Visions of Utopia” conference hosted by the Midwest chapter of the Society for Photographic Education.
