PHOTOTexas to be held in September 2007

Every year in Austin, TX, The Texas Photographic Society holds PHOTOTexas, the three-day symposium of workshops, lectures, and exhibitions. This year's event will take place on September 21, 22 & 23. The TPS National Competition, now in its 15th installment, will also hold its juried exhibition concurrently with the festival, from September 15 to October 6 at St. Edward's University Art Gallery with a reception on September 22. A Print Auction will take place September 21, 2007 at Davis Gallery.

From The Texas Photographic Society's website:

"With over 100 prints being auctioned each year, the auction is an economical way to become of a collector of fantastic prints from the likes of Dan Winter, Ray Meeks, Kim Weston, Dan Burkholder (CameraArts September/October 2006), Kate Breakey, Chip Hooper, Robb Kendrick, Roger Marshutz, Hiroshi Watanabe and Jill Enfield (CameraArts July/August 2006). TPS publishes a color catalog which is mailed to members in advance. The catalog is widely distributed and is available on our website for out-of-town bidders."

September 22-23 will be given over to all-day photographic workshops and lectures with diverse speakers and subjects. These include "Publishing the Photo Book" by Harvey Stein (CameraArts September/October 2006), "Modify Your Holga" and "Podcasting/Vodcasting Made Easy" by Tammy Cromer-Campbell (CameraArts February/March 2001), "Translating Photoshop" by Sean Perry (CameraArts November/December 2006), and many more.

There will also be a portfolio review on the final day, with Jean Caslin and Diane Griffin Gregory presenting "Marketing Tools for Visual Artists." For more information, Click here to go to The Texas Photographic Society's website.
