VoxPhotographs Weblog

Fine art photographers, emerging or established, will find it worth their while to spend some time on the following two sites, the first one sponsored by the second one:

Women in Photography showcases work from all women fine art photographers and every other Tuesday publishes a one-person show. This site is an easy way to keep in tune with what is happening out there and that is helpful considering we are in the corner of things here in Maine and the juice of contemporary photography’s national scene sometimes stops flowing before it gets this far (like New York City ????!).

This site was just launched a week ago and Jim Nickelson brought it to my attention. As the blurb says on its home page- this will develop into an excellent resource for curators, editors and gallery directors, to name a few. Although the site invites you to subscribe to Women in Photography, I couldn’t figure out how to. If you do, let me know.

Women in Photography is “sponsored” by humble arts foundation – another pretty interesting site. Print sales, group and solo shows both online and in bricks-and-mortar galleries, books and a grant application for emerging artists who have no gallery representation. Its events and exhibitions calendar stops in March, 2008, but see the comment below from Jon Feinstein at haf for more specifics – this is an active, dedicated organization.

But, check ‘em out. You can’t lose. It’s important to really spend time at fine art photography exhibits in galleries and webgalleries to find out what’s being done in your field and here are two good places to spend time today.
