# Louis Stettner Estate > Seventy-year creative legacy of Louis Stettner ## Posts - [With Time](https://louisstettner.com/with-time/): Middlebury College Museum of Art May 23 – August 9 2026 When it comes to aging, we are living in strange times. We are bombarded by advertisements for “anti-aging” products—quick fixes for smoothing wrinkles, revitalizing weary bodies, and returning us to younger versions of ourselves. Elixirs of youth fill store shelves and infiltrate social media feeds. Countering these efforts is an alternate chorus, one that reminds us that there is no such thing as “anti-aging,” and we should celebrate every age and stage with gratitude and grace. Might there be a third narrative? The photographs in this exhibit range in date, but […] - [Dublin Street Photography Festival 2026](https://louisstettner.com/dublin-street-photography-festival-2026/): The Dublin Street Photography Festival 2026 is delighted to announce their feature exhibition, New York Visionaries.
