Gallery Night

I couldn't be more proud of this photography club, we had hundreds of people turn out to see all of your pieces at the gallery.

I heard people say things like "wow out of all the places I've been tonight some of the pieces here stand out to me the most"

"You've got an incredible variation of talent here, it's impressive."

I heard lots of folks ask very specific questions about processes locations and technique. It was also nice to see so many families of you guys there.

Congratulations everyone, our first successful show!

Seeing Green: Art, Ecology and Activism in Milwaukee

Saturday, April 12, 5:00-9:00pm at Woodland Pattern
Book Center, 720 E. Locust St., Milwaukee, WI.

Seeing Green encourages artists to leave the confines
of the studio and take an active role with the
community, to collaborate and address issues of the
environment, and to open a dialog with the public.
Guest curator Nicolas Lampert invited over 40 local
artists to work on a project for the duration of eight
months. During the month of April, 2008 the show will
be exhibited at Woodland Pattern Book Center in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin where the gallery will serve as a
hub space, informing the viewer and the public of the
many environmental projects taking place throughout
the city, exhibiting visual work and books, screening
films and holding discussions and events based around
the exhibition.
