The next exhibit at the Deines Cultural Center is “Peace Happens" an exhibit of photography by David Lee Reineke. The Colorado-based artist will be in attendance when the show opens with an artist’s reception from 2:00-4:00pm on Sunday, November 2nd. The exhibit continues through December. David Reineke was first introduced to a camera at the age of four by his mother when they took walks on the family tobacco farm in Platte County, Missouri where he was born. She drew his visual attention to the simple spectacles before them like the “tumble bugs” he found to be a most interesting subject matter for close-up photography. His interest in the gravity between form, light, and space has remained over the years. David remembers his mother teaching him how to use a “KEWPIE” box camera as early as 1947; he still has the camera today. Reineke says, "My approach to photography is supported on the principle values of the world’s natural scenery. I believe in people, the simple aspects of life, and man’s relationship to the environment." A former visual arts teacher, Reineke took up photography to stockpile ideas to transform into other visual mediums. His stockpile of photo images and continued interest in photography are still on the rise. David Reineke and his wife, Jan, now reside in a log home on the West Fork of the Dolores River located in the San Juan National Forest near Stoner, Colorado. Deines Cultural Center hours are 12:30 - 5:30 Tuesday through Friday and 1:00 - 5:00 Saturday and Sunday. The Center is located at 820 N. Main and is accessible to those with disabilities.
