I am excited to start planning for my solo Exhibition at Contemporary Calgary, as part of Exposure Photography Festival next Winter!
Contemporary Calgary, the former Centennial Planetarium, itself a significant work of architectural art, is being transformed into a world-class gallery where we will deliver outstanding local, national and international contemporary art programming. Core to our vision, we aspire to become a leading voice among arts institutions by embracing our values of being welcoming, inclusive, engaging and relevant.
I am proud to be awarded this opportunity through winning Exposure 2023 Emerging Photographer of the Year Award 2023.
“The recipient of this prestigious award is given the opportunity to present a solo show at the following year’s Exposure Photography Festival (At Contemporary Calgary). The award provides the emerging artist with a platform to show their work while furthering their professional practice and building their career within photography. Exposure mentors and supports the artist in developing their vision in the best possible way”.
Exposure plays a pivotal role in arts programming in photography in the City of Calgary and throughout Alberta. Each year Exposure introduces exciting new programming that extends its reach and visibility and draws attention to Calgary and Alberta as the site of an active, growing, creative community in the field of photography.
The annual Exposure Photography Festival presents exhibitions that showcase photographic work by internationally renowned practitioners, alongside emerging and established talent from Alberta. The festival provides an exciting, innovative meeting place for photographers and art lovers to connect with one another, along with curators and photography professionals from around the world. Exposure is inclusive and participatory, a collaboration amongst members of the photographic community. Recent festivals have received over 900,000+ visits from Exposure’s community of local and international, arts and non-arts engaged individuals and audience members. The festival brings people together to celebrate photography and Alberta’s thriving creative communities.
Established in 2004, the Calgary/Banff Photography Society, the organization that produces Exposure, is a registered non-profit run by an enthusiastic Board of Directors who are devoted to photography.
The next edition of Exposure Photography Festival will take place during February 2023.
