Gallery Talking & Photography Walking
A community partnership program with The Union for Contemporary Art
General Public: $35; Members of The Joslyn and The Union Co-Op Passholders, $30; registration required here. This program will be offered three times: May 30, Jun 27, or Jul 25 (choose one).
We will begin in The Joslyn’s Through the Lens: American Photographs from the Carter Collection exhibition, which includes work by noted artists Ansel Adams, Carrie Mae Weems, Laura Gilpin, Gordon Parks, Diane Arbus, Arthur Rothstein, Dawoud Bey, Alec Soth, and many more. During the first hour, Museum staff will facilitate engaging conversations in the exhibition, with time to look and reflect on your own. Then, with a beverage and snack bag in hand, we’ll travel via personal vehicles to The Union for Contemporary Art. The Union staff will lead us in a photography walk activity in their Abundance Garden, followed by a chance to develop a print of your own work in their Co-Op Studios’ darkroom.
We will use 35mm cameras; The Union for Contemporary Art has a small number of cameras that participants can share; if you have a 35mm camera, please bring it.
