Phila Photo Arts Center Summer Events

image/jpeg icon

My colleague, Sarah Stolfa, opened a center for photography in Philadelphia, and hosts classes, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, as well as a digital darkoom for rent. This Summer, they have lots of things planned, including workshops in digital basics and also RAW file management, a screening of the creepy Robin Williams' film One Hour Photo, and a potluck and slideshow event: Slideluck Potshow, a New York City-based, non-profit arts organization that provides an opportunity for artists and arts-appreciators to gather around food, friends, and artwork for an unforgettable night. This event, which began in a Seattle backyard ten years ago and regularly draws crowds of a thousand people in NYC, is finally coming to the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center.

 

The evening begins with a couple hours of mingling and dining on the home-cooked delights of those who attend, and then the lights are dimmed, the crowd is hushed, and a spectacular slideshow commences. Think slideshow + potluck dinner.
