Phew, what a week!  It’s taken us a few days to recover from all the events – artist talks, receptions, workshops, portfolio reviews, and parties every night for nine days took a little out of us.  Although the festival has come to a close, many of the partner exhibits around town remain on view through the end of the month.  Take advantage of the next two weeks to celebrate photography a little while longer before things get really hectic at the end of the year.

In fact, the recently-launched PartnerPage module gives the partner galleries, museums, and organizations a one-stop shop to post events all year long.  Choose by venue or scroll through the running schedule to find the fun art outings that interest you.  Just this week, Multiple Exposures Gallery offers a free cyanotype demonstration at their gallery in the Torpedo Factory Art Center on Thursday, November 17 from 7:30 to 8 p.m., Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery hosts Tom Wolff’s U Street Portrait Project: Artist Talk, Photo Critique and Community Potluck this Saturday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., and The Katzen Arts Center offers a screening of a selection of films from Puerto Rico’s Division of Community Education from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

We also tried something a little different this year – complete and schedule as many posts as possible BEFORE FotoWeek so we, the writers, could actually participate in the festival (last year I only made it to two events).  Working toward this goal with a finite amount of time prevented us from highlighting every single partner.  So, please take a look through the PartnerPage and get to know each and every one of them – these are local galleries, museums, and organizations that hold art events year-round.
