Forever Photos

More than 300 individuals attended the opening night gala of the exhibition A Lasting Vision: Photographs from the Institute of Design 1970–2001, that celebrated the final three decades of one of the world’s most distinctive photography programs. The show, which ran July 31–August 14 on Illinois Tech’s Mies Campus, featured more than 50 photos taken by faculty and students. Organizers Anne Neri Kostiner and Lewis S. Kostiner (M.S. PHOT ’74), along with John Lankford from Illinois Tech’s Office of Institutional Advancement, spent five months coordinating the exhibition.
