Impressions and Exposures: A Hand Magazine Exhibition
Opening at the Spiva Center for the Arts, Joplin, MO
Mark your calendars: Opening November 1, 2025
Join us at the Spiva Center for the Arts in Joplin for the grand opening of Impressions and Exposures: A Hand Magazine Exhibition, running through December 31, 2025 in the Sharon & Lance Beshore Gallery.
This exhibition is a celebration of photographic and visual storytelling, drawn from the pages and contributors of Hand Magazine — a publication known for its evocative imagery, explorations of light and texture, and pushing the boundaries of how photographs communicate mood and narrative.
Founded in 2013, The Hand Magazine is an international print and photography magazine based in Kansas City. The mission of The Hand is to highlight the many inventive and creative ways artists incorporate print and photo-based media into their work. As part of that mission, The Hand presents physical exhibitions in order to encourage the enjoyment of art in person. Impressions and Exposures: A Hand Magazine Exhibit invites the audience to contemplate the craft of artmaking and how individual artists express themselves amid the persistence of AI, digital creation, and mass-media.
