Past Exhibits 2025
The first ninety years of the Booster Club and the projects that contribute to a winning football program. Without the dedication of its members—some of whom are lifelong—and the entire community, the team's history and legacy would be lost.
Construction, which started in the fall of 1936, employed 260 WPA employees, incorporating the Shriver Field roof and stands. The new Tiger Stadium hosted 15,000 fans for the 1939 season’s initial game against Cleveland Cathedral Latin. With later expansions, the stands accommodate nearly 20,000 spectators. Concession stands, a second press box, and seven iterations of electronic scoreboards have been added. In 1976, as part of the city’s sesquicentennial celebrations, the stadium was renamed to honor legendary coach Paul Brown. Artificial turf replaced the original dirt field in 1989 and a $2.8 million structural rehabilitation project in 2020 reinforced the west stands. Paul Brown Tiger Stadium remains the largest high school field in Ohio.

The artists represented span a wide spectrum of sight impairment: most are completely blind, some are legally blind…All of them, with photography as their medium, navigate with their other senses to visualize and represent the space around them.
This exhibition was originated by UCR/California Museum of Photography, an affiliate institution of ARTSblock, the University of California, Riverside.
