NCSA 29th Annual Photography Exhibition

The New Canaan Society for the Arts holds a juried photography exhibit each year. The show has become increasingly popular and draws entrants from all over the Northeast. It's popularity alone makes it a tough show to be accepted into. This years juror is George Schaub and like the jurors who have come before him, he has one amazing list of credentials. He is the editorial director of Shutterbug magazine and a member of the faculty in the Visual and Preforming Arts Department of the New School in New York. He has also taught at the Santa Fe Photo Workshops, The Maine Photo Workshops and the Palm Beach Photo Centre. He has authored over 20 books on photography and has been widely published in the New York Times, Travel & Leisure, Men's Journal and numerous photographic magazines. I am thrilled to be a part of this show again this year. In past years I've won first prize in the Professional color catagory and an honorable mention the following year. The show runs from February 8th to March 15th, 2009. The opening reception is Sunday, February 8th from 4PM-6PM at the Carriage Barn. Come say hi if your in the neighborhood.

Here is my entry titled "Casey's Hairdo".

The honorable mention in 2008

And the First Prize in 2007

Greg Haberny Art Installation

My friend Greg has another amazing show up in Brooklyn. His work has to been seen in person to be appreciated. The Art Installations are so intricate that they take weeks to set up. This particular show is oddly ironic with the news headlines lately. It's all about oil, energy and the monetary crisis. Check it out if you're in the hood.

Fundraising Art Show at Teen Center

I'm happy to participate again this year in the "Artists for the Outback" fundraising show and sale. The New Canaan Outback Teen Center provides a safe, well supervised place for teens to socialize in an alcohol and drug free environment. With the peer pressure of being a teen (and having a son who is headed there fast), I'm so happy that this is an issue that is addressed by our community. I love the fact that they support constructive outlets for teens to explore and grow, especially the arts. There is an opening reception on May 8th from 6:30-9:30, and the show is free and open to the public Friday and Saturday. Professionals and students alike have work on exhibit with portions of the proceeds to benefit the Teen Center. Stop in and support a good cause.
