“Faces of Solvang: 100 Years of Diversity and Community” debuts November 13 in the gallery at Elverhøj Museum of History and Art. The exhibition celebrates Solvang’s centennial with photographs depicting the many faces of Solvang’s cultures, past and present. The diverse group of 17 jury-selected photographers shares their experiences of Solvang, providing a visual, compelling idea of the community and its individuals.
