Road trips are the stuff of summer, and have been an inspiration for countless photographers since Walker Evans roamed the South in the 1930s. In the 1970s, Stephen Shore criss-crossed the continent, redefining American culture through his camera's lens. His work from these journeys can be seen in a major retrospective at the International Center of Photography, and is included in a group show at Yancey Richardson Gallery: Easy Rider: Road Trips Through America, featuring photographs and videos dating from 1935 to 2006. Photographs below, left to right: William Lamson, America and Me; Mitch Epstein, Cocoa Beach; Tim Davis, Stretched America.

This issue of DART presents an omnivore's omnibus - summer group photography shows, coast to coast, celebrating diverse themes in a variety of media. Please check links for details.
