PORT ANGELES — A Peninsula College photographic perspective celebrating the college’s 50th anniversary will open at The Landing mall gallery Thursday.

The exhibition, which will run through Dec. 31, is a collection of photographs taken by photographer Harry von Stark of Quilcene that show facets of Peninsula College, with an emphasis on the architecture of the campus buildings.

An artist’s reception will be from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10, at The Landing mall gallery, 115 E. Railroad Ave., Port Angeles.

The reception will feature live jazz music and refreshments.
