"Night News" - an occasional missive from the darkness
Vol.13 No.6
Continuing with this series of monthly communiqués, just to keep up with all the activivites surrrounding our year-long celebration, "TheNocturnes@20." You can view the complete schedule of events (starting wa-a-y back in January!) here. However, you'll probably want to see the current list of upcoming events - with more being added weekly - at this link.
OK, here is the FLASH! part of the news - let's have a look, shall we?
Details will follow, but we wanted to get a quick 'sketch' out to you all - of Alumni events for the fall of 2011. Fall, as you know is the 'high season' of Night Photography in the San Francisco Bay area, and with all the festivities surrounding the the year-long celebration of "TheNocturnes@20" (our twentieth anniversary!) - we have a number of exciting offerings to present to you.
Again, details to follow, but here are some dates to pencil in:
September 15
"20@24" - We visit Pier 24 again (a group of 20) to see their newest exhibit, simply titled "HERE." - presenting "works produced by Bay Area photographers as well as a range of images of San Francisco, with an emphasis on the late-twentieth century. "HERE." highlights the vibrancy of San Francisco and the surrounding areas through the work of 34 photographers and over 700 images." (from the Web site) http://www.pier24.org
October 7-9
