Focus Forward Virtual Artist Talk
August 19, 2020 @ 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Focus Forward Virtual Artist Talk!
Join the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey (VACNJ) for a Zoom presentation of the current virtual exhibition, Focus Forward, featuring work by members of the New Jersey Photography Forum (NJPF). Curator Mary Birmingham will be presenting an overview of the exhibition and many of the artists will be present to discuss their work while answering questions from the audience. Please register in advance at the link below.
Co-founded by Nancy Ori and the late Michael Creem, the NJPF has been dedicated to furthering the interests of fine art photographers in New Jersey for the past 25 years and has held their regular meetings at the VACNJ. Working as a team, Mary Birmingham (Curator), Kimberly Fisher (Exhibitions Manager), and Sarah Walko (Director of Programs and Community Engagement) invited NJPF members to submit recent work that would illustrate where they hoped to take their photographic practices in the future. This exhibition was originally planned as an in-person show to be featured in the VACNJ’s Main Gallery but was converted into a virtual exhibition as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. It is on view on the Art Center’s website July 10 through August 30, 2020.
The work presented highlights the photography of 26 NJPF members, including Ron Brown, Ruth Brown, Sarah Canfield, Jamin Chen, Glenn Clark, Ken Curtis, Paul Donohoe, Ralph Greene, Theresa Hood, Marv Kaminsky, Kathleen Kirchner, Dorothy Kuehn, Parvathi Kumar, John Markanich, Paul Marvuglio, Leonard McDonald, Charlann Meluso, Charles Miller, Kathleen Nademus, Nancy Ori, Phyllis Raffelson, Mitchell Speert, Tom Stillman, Heidi Sussman, Christine Truhe, and Russ Wills.
