An exhibition of photographs by artist Mary Beth Meehan, entitled “City of Champions,” will be on display at the Oresman Gallery, Smith College Department of Art, from February 5-28, 2009. The work looks at the artist’s hometown of Brockton Massachusetts, one of the state’s older industrial “gateway” cities (such as Holyoke and Springfield) and explores the personal effects of the global economic and cultural changes underway there.
