COURTESY LIGHTBOX PHOTO- GRAPHIC GALLERY A show of ‘Gratitude’ at LightBox gallery ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery holds the artists’ opening recep- tion for “In Gratitude” from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, during the Astoria Sec- ond Saturday Art Walk. The exhibition will be on display in the gallery through Wednesday, Dec. 5. “In Gratitude” was jur- ied by Laura Valenti, found- er of Light Atlas Creative, and shares photographic images with a positive outlook. “The Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast reminds us that it’s not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratitude that makes us happy. Can we invite more happiness into our lives by photographing the things we’re thankful for? I like to think so,” Valenti said in a statement.
