The Art(?) of Photography
Thursday, February 11 at 6:00 PM
Redwood Library, Newport RI
Want to have some fun and help try to settle an on-going
debate?
Then join us next for a panel discussion titled THE ART(?) OF
PHOTOGRAPHY. Led by local, internationally known photographer and friend
of the Photo Guild, Clint
Clemens, and joined by Redwood Show first and second place winners, Dallas
Molerin and Barbara Renner, along
with Lisa
Long and Sandy Nesbitt of the
Redwood, the discussion will tackle a current "hot" topic in the art world
-- Is photography art sometimes, always, never, is it just graphic design
if it is digital, and only "art" if it is done in the traditional manner?
And, just how does photography fit into the realm or art? We expect a lot
of audience participation as well, so come, join in the fray!
