Through October 13 Jack Spencer: Beyond the SurfaceFrist Center for the Visual Arts, 919 Broadway. In his approach to photography, Spencer empha-sizes invention over documentation.

Nashville, TN photographer Jack Spencers approach is to veil the observed surface of reality with beauty, mystery, and a keen aware-ness of photographys capacity to confound our sense of time. Open 10:00a.m. - 5:30p.m. Monday - Wednesday; 10:00a.m. - 9:00p.m. Thursday and Friday; 10:00a.m. - 5:30 Saturday and 1:00 - 5:30p.m. Sunday. Admission is $10 for adults; $7 for college
