Erie Places, Erie Stories Exhibit Opens December 13th

Erie Places, Erie Stories Exhibit Opens December 13th

The Erie Places, Erie Stories project involved students from the Fall 2013 Introduction to Public History and Museum Studies courses at Mercyhurst University. Conceived by Bob Wooler of The Nonprofit Partnership, the project had students working in teams to conduct photographic  and oral history studies of neighborhoods or districts of greater Erie. The end result is an exhibition of photographs of particular buildings of focus in those neighborhoods, accompanied by captions that feature some excerpts from the oral histories. The exhibit opens Friday, December 13 5-8 pm at Center City Arts, 26th and Holland Streets.
