Enjoy a MOPLA exhibition curated by Jessica Sample, “Wanderlust: A Silent Auction Benefit” aims to show us how the world is a beautiful, complex and fragile place. This is often most apparent to us through the lens of the traveler.
This group show presents the travel photographs from emerging and established photographers, each of whom explore the world to discover their own deep and unique sense of place. Proceeds from the silent auction of the exhibited photographs will go to Mercy Corps, to benefit refugee aid, and to Wild Aid, to benefit wildlife protection.
