At Gallery One’s new exhibition, shadows step out of the background and become the subject. Local artists explore how light and shade can transform familiar places, revealing unexpected drama in coastal scenes inspired by Rehoboth Bay, an Atlantic Avenue cottage, and more.

Shadow World opens Wednesday, September 30, and remains on view through Tuesday, October 27. Visit Gallery One at 32 Atlantic Avenue in Ocean View during regular gallery hours, daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
