Six award-winning photographers - Andrea Bruce, Jamie Francis, Janet Jarman, Charles "Stretch" Ledford, Susie Post Rust and Ami Vitale − will be featured in depth along with single images by another group of twenty-five distinguished alumni. The exhibition, showcasing 90 color and black and white photographs, will also highlight interactive, web-based projects developed by current students in the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Mass Communication, a world-wide leader in multimedia education and production. An illustrated checklist is available for download.

Visions of Faith: Photographs by Wendy Ewald and Children In 1997 and 1998, the Ackland Art Museum commissioned Wendy Ewald to conduct a series of photography workshops in five different religious communities throughout North Carolina. She collaborated with children ages eight to thirteen, helping them capture images of their traditions and heritage on film. Visions of Faith presents the results of that work. In coordinating this initiative, the Ackland set out to document traditions of the world religions represented in the Museum's permanent collection as they are practiced locally.
