Santa Fe PhotoArts 2007
PhotoArts Santa Fe Biennial Photography Festival July 13-22, 2007
Ten days of everything for the photographer and those who love photography
May, 2007: Santa Fe has grown into one of the most important cities in the country for photographers: as a showplace for their work, as a home, and as a place filled with pictures waiting to be taken. Santa Fe's beautiful natural setting along the Rocky Mountains, its historic architecture, multiple cultures, and diverse traditions are just the first of endless choices for subject material while the area's renowned clear light has attracted artists of every kind to the area for decades. In addition, as the second largest art market in the country, Santa Fe's galleries are filled with extraordinary photography, both historic and contemporary, while the city's business community supports a growing number of photographic services for visitors and professionals alike.
It is against this background of creative and commercial support that PhotoArts Santa Fe's biennial festival, July 13-22, 2007, will again offer everything for the amateur and professional photographer and for those simply interested in the photographic arts. One of the summer's highlight events, PhotoArts Santa Fe is a 10 day celebration featuring city-wide photo exhibits, a show and sale of fine art photography, equipment demonstrations, lectures, workshops, portfolio reviews, guided photo shoots and much more.
On Friday, July 13th, twelve Santa Fe galleries around downtown and along Canyon Road will open the PhotoArts event at evening receptions with special photographic exhibitions covering a wide variety of styles and material. Saturday the 14th is Albuquerque Day with exhibitions throughout the city. Open studio tours will be held in Santa Fe and nearby Eldorado on Sunday with close to a dozen different photographers welcoming visitors to their personal domains. The following week is filled with workshops, lectures, demonstrations, professional development, and a photo shoot at historic Rancho de las Golondrinas. On Friday, July 20th through Sunday the 22nd, the Photoarts Marketplace will be open at El Museo Cultural in the Santa Fe Railyard. The Marketplace will feature a show and sale of fine art photography by 25 photographers, special presentations, and 30 booths of national photographic equipment and supply manufacturers demonstrating and selling their products.
There is also a 3 day Alternative Photography International Symposium planned starting on July 19 , a Book Fair of New Mexico Publishers and book sellers on photography, and a Big Camera day featuring large format cameras. In between the planned PhotoArts events there is time to absorb all of the special shows at participating galleries throughout town and experience some of what makes Santa Fe such a draw for so many top professional photographers.
