Exhibition curator and director of the Barry Lopez Foundation, Toby Jurovics, will lead a tour of From Here to the Horizon: Photographs in Honor of Barry Lopez at UCR ARTS’ California Museum of Photography on April 19 at 1:00 p.m. Reserve free tickets!

From Here to the Horizon: Photographs in Honor of Barry Lopez explores our connection to the land through photography. The exhibition brings together photographs by fifty artists, offering a sweeping portrait of the diverse landscapes that shape our lives and imaginations. From badlands and sandhills to old-growth forests and slot canyons, from the New England coast to the Great Lakes, the photographs evoke the distinctive character of American topography—at once quotidian and mythic, welcoming and forbidding. Collectively, the exhibition explores the power of place and the ways photographs help us see, understand, and re-connect with the land.

From Here to the Horizon was inspired by the work of American author Barry Lopez (1945–2020), best known for Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape (1986), for which he won the National Book Award for Nonfiction. Lopez spent more than fifty years traveling the world and writing about the deep ties between people and nature.
