“Hidden in Plain View: A Touring Photo Exhibit” will open Sept. 8 and run through Oct. 26 in Cargill Hall Gallery at Hennepin County Library – Minneapolis Central, 300 Nicollet Mall.
 
The exhibit features work by award-winning local photographers Amy Anderson, Michael Dvorak, Peter Latner and Tom Wik. It captures the beauty, humor and poignancy of our everyday lives in the Midwest and asks viewers to consider what lies behind façades, hidden in plain view.
