Six new and emerging fine-art photographers will exhibit their work this summer at Foley Gallery in New York City through PDN‘s The Curator. The annual competition will also award each photographer with $200 to B&H and $250 to Moab Paper, plus a $3,500 award to one grand-prize winner.

One of last year’s winners, Amy Friend, was selected for her series “Dare alla Luce” (Italian for “to bring to the light”), through which she explores the relationship between presence and absence. Friend worked with a collection of vintage photographs retrieved from both personal and impersonal sources, altering each print with small holes through which she shines light, then subsequently re-photographing them. See more of her work, along with the other winning photographers from 2015, here.

With Reception 6-9pm
Live Music by John Cooley
Drinks provided by Audacity Brewery, Denton, TX
Taco Cart provided by Chile Pepper Grill, Fort Worth, TX
Located at 2712 Weisenberger Street, Art Room will open its doors on Saturday, March 19th 12:00-9:00 PM, with a reception from 6:00 – 9:00PM.The exhibition will feature works by Deedra Baker, James Zamora, Jennifer Balkan, Rachael Banks, Adrienne Lichliter, Adam Palmer, Betsey Gravat, Alison Jardine, Carlos Don Juan, Hilary Dohoney, Karen Offutt, Kate Stipp, and Steve Javiel.

Thought-provoking and moving, these contemporary works of art capitalize on everything that is fresh and alluring about the art scene of the present. Each artist brings something new and energizing to traditional subjects such as the portrait, still life, and space. These unconventional, contemporary works of art feel rooted in their craft while also breaking the mold into a progressive and captivating new realm of art making. Inspired by a sense of realism, these artists take the leap into a world of unexplored social relevance by utilizing abstracted viewpoints.

“ONE” will run through April 6, 2016. Gallery hours are by appointment only. For additional information please contact Nathan Madrid or Katie Murray atartroomfw@gmail.com and visit our website www.artroom.space for more information about upcoming shows, and to join our mailing list.
