This has been a pivotal year — in the news and in news photography. Star Tribune photojournalists have covered everything from protests to powwows, from fans mourning the death of Prince to Minnesota athletes going for gold at the Olympics. You're invited to see the 2016 Photos of the Year and be part of an in-depth conversation with Star Tribune photojournalists Brian Peterson, who shot this year's Olympics, and Renée Jones Schneider, who was named Journalist of the Year by the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists. Join us from 6-8:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Walker Art Center. The $45 tickets include complimentary hors d'oeuvres and a 5-by-7-inch photo reprint of one of the Photos of the Year. A cash bar will also be available. To purchase tickets, go to startribune.com/behindthelens. (For 20 percent off ticket price, please enter coupon code Lens16 at checkout.)
