Phillip and Vincent Caruso are the subjects of two exhibitions at Sand Lake Center for the Arts: “Hollywood Euphoria,” featuring images from Phillip Caruso’s career in film, running through the end of January, and “Shadows” by Vincent Caruso, running in the month of February.
On Friday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m., the pair will also discuss their work in a panel moderated by our Writers Institute Opalka Endowed Director -- and Times Union columnist -- Paul Grondahl.
This Sand Lake event will be the duo’s first time showing in tandem and discussing their photography and familial connection.
