Filter festival in Chicago

Filter Photo Festival is off and running. I look forward to heading down to Chicago this week to catch up with friends and meet new faces.  The timing this year couldn't be better with the Ctrl+P lacuna exhibition at Catherine Edelman Gallery. The lacuna installation is looking great and has new stacks up for it last two weeks of its run.  If you're heading to Filter be sure to stop into CEG and take a part of the piece with you.

I am pleased to have lacuna featured in the Filter Festival program.

oh what a night...

with over 600 reproductions removed from the install, a slew of enthusiastic conversations and grand reunions... I would say the opening last night at Catherine Edelman Gallery was a great success.

According to Heather Hambrect of (h(om)e) - sprinter is the "wombo combo of spring overcoming winter." I think the 4 feet of solid ice sprinkled with fresh snow has made a permanent impact on our psyche here in Wisconsin...

Let me tell you about Heather... Her/(h(om)e) handmade leather bags are amazing! I have two and recommend them to all... she makes beautiful messenger bags, laptop bags, purses, clutches, wallets... the list goes on and on. She is incredibly talented and her bags are as much about function as they are about fashion. You can find (h(om)e) bags in Chicago at City Soles, in Milwaukee at shoo or by visiting the (h(om)e) studio.

The Coalition of Photographic Arts (CoPA) is proud to present its Inaugural Juried Exhibition at the Walker’s Point Center for the Arts. The mission of the Coalition of Photographic Arts is to develop appreciation, promote growth and support the creation of photography in the Greater Milwaukee Region. Our goal is to cultivate awareness of contemporary photography.

With this show, and the help of our juror Brian Ulrich, we are recognizing the wealth of talent and creative pursuits of photographers in our tri-state area. We are pleased to present a wide range of contemporary photography being made in Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin. We are encouraged by the tremendous response in the number of submissions received. This is further evidence that the community welcomes CoPA’s presence and mission.

Our choice to have Brian Ulrich serve as juror of CoPA’s Inaugural Juried Exhibition was an easy one due to his professional standing not only as an artist but also as an educator. Most of all we were inspired by his advocacy for community among contemporary photographers, particularly in the Midwest.

Our thanks go out to all submitting artists enabling us to present an exhibition of this caliber. We are also grateful to the Walker’s Point Center for the Arts, in partnering with us by allowing us to use their gallery for this exciting event. We are very thankful to Brian Ulrich for lending his vision and support to make this inaugural exhibition a success.
