To really progress as artists we need to go deep and we need to go deep over an extended period of time. We also need the reflection and support of others who share our passion and commitment. We learn by doing and we learn by understanding how others experience our work.
Guided by artist Charles Purvis, the purpose of the Project Salon is to support photographers in the creation of new bodies of work. Meeting twice a month, participants will present their ongoing projects and both receive and offer constructive reflection concerning subject, narrative, editing, final form and the general arc and feel of the work.
The Project Salon includes an introduction to CPW’s Digital Media Lab, selective assignments, information and writings on photography, and the occasional guest presenter.
All formats and photographic mediums are welcome!
