2020 was a year most of us would like to forget, but if you would like to review the year in photographs there are plenty of sources. After taking 2019 off, we present our annual compilation of the Year in Photographs - check back as we update through the end of the year, and feel free to send us any lists we miss!
Visit our current Virtual Project to view "History Now', an on-line exhibit with two highlight photographs of 2020 by Monroe Gallery photographers Gabriella E. Campos and Ryan Vizzions.
