A new photo exhibit opening next month will bring iconic images of the 2024 Paris Olympics back home to Paris — Kentucky.
Paris Photo Gallery, located at 723 Main Street in Paris, will offer visitors a chance to see iconic images captured by photographers who covered the event during “From Paris to Paris” opening Saturday, September 7 and running through November 24.
“Getting this diverse collection of work from so many different photographers and organizations together all in one place, honestly, just doesn’t happen,” said Jack Gruber, senior photographer at USA Today and a co-founder of Paris Photo Gallery. “These images are rarely seen anywhere but the front pages or online newspapers where these amazing photographers work.”
The opening reception — free and open to the public — will be 6-9 p.m. Saturday, September 7. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the exhibit, meet some of the photographers, and enjoy light refreshments.
Proceeds from the sale of photographs in the exhibition benefit the nonprofit Boyd’s Station in Harrison County, supporting the annual 306.36 visual documentary project. The program also mentors student photographers striving toward their dreams and careers in visual storytelling and photojournalism.
“Photojournalism is a small community of photographers that reaches the world and we are lucky to bring this unique collection of work in Paris, Kentucky,” Gruber said.
