A juried exhibition of 20 photographs selected by an arts community committee will be at a location and time to be determined. At the end of the exhibit the framed prints will be returned to the photographers. All contest entries will be archived with Historic Newton so that residents in the future can learn about life in Newton during the COVID-19 pandemic.
