There is a $5 nonrefundable entry fee for submission. Please make checks payable to Martha Savery or Kristen Neville. Mail all items to:

The Drawing Socials combine a drawing group with a live musical performance: the performers being the subject as well as the entertainment. Every week presents a different ensemble of progressive and experimental musicians in a venue allowing them to perform uncompromised to an all-ages Strathmore-toting crowd with expectations extending beyond the current top-40. The music ranges from and merges rock, classical, jazz, hip-hop, gypsy, folk, country, blues, electronic, and the experimental and avant-garde. This venue fosters the interchange of art forms, valuing the development of culture within community over commodity.
Camerawork gallery is pleased to announce: “As is” - Photographs by Bee
Ottinger, January 2 - March 4, 2009.
Opening Reception First Friday, February 6, 6PM - 8:30PM
Bee says this about her work:
‘I have always thought that the brilliance of photography is that it shows
us the purely visual world before we contaminate it with our aesthetic,
social, and moral values. It is this quality that I honor in my photographs.
I do not manipulate the image to make things more than they are- cuter,
more heartwarming, more dramatic, more disturbing. Rather, I explore the
dynamics of color and composition within a set of specific objects in a
specific place.
I describe in order to create intimacy.
I stick to the scale, focus, and framing that feels most real to me.
My subject value is incidental, merely what I run across in my daily life.
I love flowers.
I strip myself away as much as possible.
I hope to take you on a visual journey. This is what I saw in this time period.”
