The Branch Cafe and Market is delighted to share our next art show opening and reception on Sunday, July 5th, 1-3pm. The photography show is entitled "In Plain Sight" by Marty Merrill. "Everything in this world is worthy of our attention. Every object, every moment, carries its own particular value, and there is reward to be found when we pause long enough to see things for what they truly are. Through photography,
I try to create opportunities for viewers to embrace the mundane—to notice the things we pass by every day, the details our subconscious registers in an instant before dismissing them as unworthy of further thought."
