How can you create, manage and fund a personal project that is meaningful (to you as an artist and to the public) and feasible? Sally Wiener Grotta will share insights about developing a project, getting grants, finding venues, generating publicity and other factors behind her success.

Sally Wiener Grotta is the photographer, author and storyteller behind the popular fine art project “American Hands” (www.AmHands.com and www.facebook.com/AmericanHands). She is traveling the country capturing the visual stories of those individuals who are keeping the old trades alive, such as a blacksmith, bookbinder, spinner, rug maker, etc. In addition, she is mounting exhibits and giving slideshow presentations. All of which is supported by grants and private donations. So far, over 200,000 individuals have attended an “American Hands” exhibit.

You may use photos from my unlisted press gallery on the Website at http://www.amhands.com/Other/Press/8763950_gbM9ht. Please don’t publish that link. And please be sure to include my copyright notice with any photo published: “© Copyright by Sally Wiener Grotta, American Hands. All Rights Reserved.”

(For Members Only)

 

 

Stroudsburg Foto’s

PPC BI-MONTHLY PHOTO CONTEST to be shown at the JULY meeting

Open to all PPC Members

 

Categories:

1.PATRIOTIC

Interpret ‘patriotic’...we’ve got the Fourth of July coming, Liberty Bell just 90 miles away, hot dogs-apple pie-and Mom. Photos can cover historic, festive, abstract, just make it suggest patriotic. ...the July 11th deadline gives you plenty of time to digest those 4th-of-July images.

 2. FLOWERS

Since I often mention not to shoot flowers, shoot...flowers. But make it a good photograph. Not just snapping something that’s inherently pretty; make the photo POP. MIKE

 

You may submit only one photo per category – The photo can be either color or black & white… your choice.

 

Give us your best photographic interpretation of the above categories. Post processing permitted.  Maximum number of images - 2, one per category

 

Photo must be taken:

All submissions must be in the possession of Stroudsburg Foto by: 5:30 on July 11thYou may email: DAVE BUTLER at: dave@stroudsburgfoto.com
