Seventy photographs by Karen Klugman capture UPPER STATE STREET 1978: AT THE HEIGHT OF ITS DECLINE, on view at City Gallery from August 5 – August 21. Like the antique stores of old, the exhibition offers hidden delights: clusters of images, verbatim quotes by people in the photos, a map matching photographs to locations, and a scavenger hunt for kids. The Opening on Friday, August 5, 4pm – 7pm, will feature a book signing of Klugman’s Upper State Street, New Haven: At the Height of Its Decline (8.5 x 11 hardcover, 76 pages) which may be purchased for $40 ($60 afterwards).

The exhibit is free and open to the public. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Friday – Sunday, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m., or by appointment. City Gallery follows New Haven City’s mask mandate policy. For further information please contact City Gallery, [email protected], www.city-gallery.org.
