Chico Hot Springs Portfolio Review & Publishing Prize

Hello,

My name is Jesse Lenz and I am the director of Charcoal Book Club, the book-of-the-month club dedicated exclusively to photobooks.

We are hosting the third annual Chico Hot Springs Portfolio Review & Publishing Prize this year and wanted to get the word out about the call for entry to your photography students and alumni. It’s a fantastic opportunity to spend a week at a hot springs resort with 15 of the top artists, publishers, and organizations in contemporary photography listening to artist lectures and panel discussions, showcasing work in portfolio reviews, and building relationships. Additionally, one lucky artist’s project will be selected to be published and distributed worldwide by the book club!

We have 3 full tuition scholarships, student discounts, and need based scholarships available for those selected. This way we hope there isn’t anything standing in the way of students submitting.

 

Warm Regards,

Jesse

Forbes & Fifth biannually publishes a volume of academic and artistic works from all disciplines.

Saturday October 6 : SPE MidAtlantic PopUp Event

SPE {Society for Photographic Education} is having their MidAtlantic Chapter Event at Tyler on Saturday October 6. The theme of the event is Teaching Photography: A Conversation. 

This is a great opportunity to meet and network with faculty and students from schools in the MidAtlantic region and to hear what faculty have to say about the profession of teaching photography. This is a free event for students. 

There will be a reception in the Lower Atrium at Tyler for the exhibition Teaching Photography: A Conversation. Each panelist from the PopUp Event was asked to select a student to show next to one of their own photographs. Come meet the artists who participated. 

Below is the schedule of panelists. Come hear some Tyler photo faculty and grad students share their thoughts about teaching. Come for all or part of the day. Bring your business cards and portfolios and network!

 

 

Vendor Day: Friday October 5

This is a great opportunity to meet and network with Vendors from photo companies you already use. Bring your questions, business cards and portfolios to show to these representatives!

Hahnemühle will be printing images on our new Canon printers using different Hahnemühle papers. 

Expressway Rentals will be doing a Photo Assisting Bootcamp, talking about what a good photo assistant has in their kit. 

Come out and network!

 

 

For Freedoms Billboard Project - call for volunteer photographers

I am writing you on behalf of For Freedoms to invite you to be a part of the 50 State Initiative Billboards Campaign. We would like to see if any of your students would be interested in documenting one or more of our 100 billboards that will be installed across the US in all 50 States, plus Washington DC and Puerto Rico, starting October 1st.For Freedoms seeks to use art to deepen public discussions of civic issues by re-appropriating political advertising media such as billboards. We believe art and artists play an important role in galvanizing our society towards a more representative and transparent government. As we enter the final phases of this large-scale public art project, we thought it would be productive and exciting for student photographers to play a part.

You can view our map of billboard locations on the image above to see what might be located in your school's vicinity. Our attached Billboard Documentation Style Guide illustrates the type of photography we hope to receive. Of course, we want photographers to also send photographs in their personal style and vision in addition to these standard photographs.

If your students are interested in volunteering as documentary photographers, or have any questions, please click the link below to fill out our google form:

https://goo.gl/forms/yYMYXyAMn8mu5RoY2

Once an interested photographer fills out our form and indicates that they would like to photograph a board in a particular City, State, we will reach out to them directly with exact billboard coordinates.

Thank you so much! We are hoping to photograph the billboards beginning October 5 and receive final images by October 17. Please feel free to forward this to anyone you think may be interested.

My very best,

Tomás
