The Villa Julie College art gallery has opened its second season with an exhibit of works by faculty member and photography and film artist Exsul Van Helden. The show is a retrospective of the Dutch-born artist's career, from early photojournalism done in Central and South America to recent portraits and more experimental photography. It also includes documentary film material on subjects such as Locust Point in Baltimore, shock trauma emergency teams and Japanese Noh theater.

During the run of the exhibition, Van Helden will also present four of his short films, two each on Sept. 24 and Oct. 1 at 1 p.m. in the college theater. The events are open to the public.

The art gallery at Villa Julie College, 1525 Greenspring Valley Road, Stevenson, is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays (until 8 p.m. Wednesdays), 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. The show runs through Oct. 2. For information, call 410-486-7000.
