The Third Friday Photographic Salon* will be this Friday, January 16 starting about 6:30 as the reception for the Berkeley Arts Council’s Members’ Exhibit is winding down. Come in around 5:45 or 6:00, view some great artwork by our members, and have some munchies. We’ll retire to the Classroom around 6:30 for our monthly discussion about any photographic topic you want to bring up.
For anyone who has not been to it before, this is an informal gathering of photographers to share work, give and receive feedback, ask and answer questions about any aspect of photography.
Bring some prints and get feedback. Bring your new gear to show off. Have a question about some aspect of photography? Come in and ask it. There will likely be someone there who can answer it. Or just come to chat and talk photography with like minded people.
Open to anyone interested in photography. All experience levels welcome. (Admission is free but donations to support the Art Works are appreciated.)
The Berkeley Art Worksis located 116 North Queen Street in Martinsburg, WV (Map).
* (The term, “salon” comes from the French “salon” refers to informal gatherings of artists or other “intellectuals” where areas of common interests were discussed. Later, the term was used to indicate major art exhibitions.)
