NITRA native Ria Kmeťová exhibits her digital photos within the Towards West exhibition in the Akcent Gallery in Nitra. The display presents a series of digital photos depicting a joint theme of sunset and landscape. Kmeťová, a graduate of the University of Visual Arts - the workshop of famed photographer - Milota Havránková, took most of the photos to represent a view from a window. They are an account of a constantly repeating event: the world outside the window and sunsets. The gallery sits in the building of Mestký Kúpeľ at Kúpeľná 4. The exhibition is open daily between 10:00 and 19:30 until December 7. Admission is free. For more information call 037/6517-604.
