Honoring the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby, The Gallery @ Unique Imaging Concepts is proud to present “Dawn to Derby” featuring the photography of Dan Dry, presented in partnership with PriceWeber and Chromaluxe.
The exhibition will showcase over 40 years of Dry’s photographs at the Kentucky Derby, brought to life on ChromaLuxe’s high-definition aluminum photo panels.
“Some of the photography displayed at the exhibit dates back to the very beginning of my career, with the most recent photos taken during the 2018 Kentucky Derby” said Dry. “This event will capture the entirety of my life experience as a photographer covering the Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs. I am honored to be selected for this exhibition and hope it will help get community members into the Derby spirit.”
“ChromaLuxe is honored to sponsor this exhibition featuring the iconic Kentucky Derby photography from the legendary Dan Dry,” said Steve Flores, ChromaLuxe Global Brand Manager. “ChromaLuxe sponsors exhibitions across the globe, but it is rewarding to host such a tremendous exhibit in our hometown of Louisville.
“Dawn to Derby” is a family-friendly event open to the public beginning with the Opening First Friday Trolley Hop Reception on Friday, April 5 from 6-9 p.m., followed by the Kentucky Derby Grand Opening Reception on Friday, April 26 from 6-9 p.m.
