'US 17: The Scenic Highway' and 'Hopeful Calm & Beginnings' are on display at ArtSpace through Feb. 24.
ArtSpace Herndon's newest exhibits capture the landscape and character of highway US 17 from Virginia to Florida, as well as the discovery of nature. The two exhibits open Wednesday.

Jim Kirby's aerial shot of Lake Audubon a grand prize winner in U.S. Forest Service contest.
Reston's Jim Kirby won the grand prize in the US Forest Service's "My Neighborhood Forest" contest.

The contest challenged photographers to take a neighborhood photo that showed urban or community forests. "The real winner here is Reston, which truly is an urban forest," Kirby says. …

ArtSpace Herndon and the Herndon Foundation for the Cultural Arts announced the winners of the 2012 Fine Art Photography Competition this week. The first place prize of $300 was awarded to Sharon Eisenzopf of Woodbridge for her photo, Passing Through.
