November Gallery Opening: Thursday, November 5th

The Other Side Project: A Photographic Road Trip through America’s Heart exhibition featuring the work of photographers Melinda Green Harvey and VC Torneden.

As the historic highway reaches its centennial year, The Other Side offers an opportunity to look beyond the iconic signs, roadside attractions and familiar landmarks to consider the everyday places and stories that have shaped the Mother Road over the past century.

The collaborative project brings together two artists based in Route 66 states whose photographic styles and subject matter complement one another while offering distinctly different perspectives.

Together, their photographs create a layered portrait of Route 66 at a significant moment in its history, capturing what remains, what is changing, disappearing, and what is being remembered as the highway enters its second century of existence.

With Route 66 turning 100 in November, The Other Side invites viewers to celebrate the history of the Mother Road while looking closely at the less-traveled stories along its path. The exhibition serves as both a photographic record and a reflection on how American communities, landscapes, and roadside culture continue to evolve. The gallery opening is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view throughout November at Edmond Fine Arts.
