WATERVILLE — “Picturing Waterville,” an arrangement of contemporary and historical photographs, opens at Common Street Arts Wednesday, May 24, with an opening reception the following day.

The exhibition includes images that feature the city’s architecture, landscape, revitalization, construction, and urban renewal from the 19th century to the present day. It will be on display until July 1.

The work of Gary Green, associate professor of art at Colby College will be featured, comprising photographs that consider Waterville’s changing spaces, the facades of neighborhoods and downtown, and the interiors of buildings. These photographs are presented together with a selection of images from the Waterville Historical Society’s Redington Museum, offering a historical reflection alongside Green’s contemporary perspective, according to a news release from Waterville Creates!, which oversees Common Street Arts.

The public is invited to the opening reception, from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, May 25, at Common Street Arts in The Center Building, 93 Main St.
