COLORADO---An artistic exploration of the Islamic culture through the eyes of photographer Jeffris Elliott, titled "Muslim Journeys," will be on display at the Loveland Museum/Gallery, along with Middle Eastern textiles on loan from the Avenir Museum Collection of Fort Collins. The opening reception is 1-3 p.m. Saturday. Elliott's photographs were taken from 2004 to 2009 and are from his collection called "Another Face of Islam," which garnered him international attention, primarily from Europe. The display is in conjunction with the Loveland Public Library's Muslim Journeys Bookshelf, a project of the National Endowment for the Humanities Bridging Cultures initiative. [link]
