College hosts photography exhibit “Rooted Heart, Traveling Soul”

Hesston College’s Regier-Friesen Gallery will feature “Rooted Heart, Traveling Soul” Sept. 1 to 28, a photography exhibit by nursing student Audrey Befort of Harper, Kan. The community is invited to view the show during regular gallery hours and attend a public reception honoring the artist on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 4 to 5:30 p.m.

“Rooted Heart, Traveling Soul” offers a visual autobiography blending the heartstrings of home with the irresistible pull of wanderlust. The collection is divided into two distinct groupings of photographs, each providing insight into Befort’s memories, personal stories and the places that shaped her journey.

Regier-Friesen Gallery is located in Laban Peachey Center on the Hesston College campus. Admission is free and open to the public, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information about the exhibit, call 620-327-4221.
