Let Image City Photography Gallery's popular annual juried show, "The Magic of Light," carry you through our region's darker, more dismal months. Featuring 98 photographers exhibiting more than 160 photographs, the show includes portraits of people and places in gloriously lit grayscale, moments of playful interaction between architectural form and its shadows, and light dancing upon undulating water and throughout the shifting skies. You can check out this showcase of talent and technique at the 722 University Avenue space through January 24.

Artists-in-Residence David Perlman and Jim Patton also have work up in Image City's East Gallery. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, call 271-2540, or visit imagecityphotographygallery.com (where you can also preview a selection of images from the show).
