Join four outstanding Northwest photographers for a discussion of their work and practices.

Taking Pictures through Multiple Lenses
Photography in The Biennial
Saturday, February 28
11 am - 4 pm

Submissions to The 9th Northwest Biennial saw an unprecedented number of applications by photographers. These numbers reflect the tremendous growth in this medium over the past decade. Historically, artists were bound by the limitations of film and equipment, but today many select from a myriad of technologies, processes, and tools.

Biennial artists Michael Kenna, Doug Keyes, Isaac Layman, and Susan Seubert participate in a half-day program discussing photography’s role in fine art and commercial imagery. Rebecca Cummins, Associate Professor at University of Washington School of Art, and Rock Hushka, Tacoma Art Museum’s Curator of Contemporary and Northwest Art, moderate a panel conversation.

Cost is $10 and includes museum admission; $5 for members and students with ID. Email Education@TacomaArtMuseum.org to reserve your seat.
