UPPER BURRELL, Pa. — A reception for photographer Lathan Gross is set for 6 to 8 p.m., on Friday, Feb. 5, in the Art Gallery at Penn State New Kensington. The exhibit, “Forgotten,” runs through Feb. 27.

Gross’ art is a series of photos of forsaken buildings, structures and vehicles that were abandoned and left to the whims of Mother Nature. Where others see junk, Gross, through the perspective of a camera lens, sees a creative asset.

The reception and exhibit are free to the public. The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., weekdays, and noon to 5 p.m. on weekends.
