Today is the last day to view the works of photographer Gabe Barna, a Dallas resident for more than 30 years, which are on display in the Green Mezzanine Gallery at the Charles W. Eisemann Center, 2351 Performance Drive.
Living in Grenoble, France, between the years 2000 to 2004, Barna was able to rekindle his interests in nature photography. Much of his works are from his European travels.
The gallery is open until 6 p.m.
