This past Sunday, April 28th, Art Intersection had the pleasure of hosting our Worldwide Pinhole Photography event. It was a delightful gathering as over a dozen photographers from our community joined us in Downtown Gilbert, capturing both digital and film pinhole images.

The day concluded with a delightful potluck lunch at the Photo Arts Lab, where our community of photographers came together to not only share their love for the art but also gather and recharge after a couple of hours spent capturing moments under the sun.

Last night was a blast as we hosted our latest After Hours Member Mixer in our new digs at the Art Intersection Photo Arts Lab! It was such a joy to catch up with our community and chat about all the exciting changes happening at Art Intersection.
Alan gave us a sneak peek into the year ahead with a roadmap jam-packed with awesome events planned for both the Photo Arts Lab and Gallery 4.
And let’s not forget the highlight of the evening—Juan Garcia’s incredible digital prints, crafted from a 4×5 negative under Alan’s guidance, from scan to print. It was a taste of the creative magic we’re cooking up for future gatherings with artists in our Art Intersection community!
We’re excited to dive into this new chapter at Art Intersection. Keep an eye out for more information by signing up for our email newsletter here!
This past Saturday marked the opening day for our Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. exhibition, featuring archival photographs from Dan Budnik chronicling the Selma-Montgomery March, the March on Washington D.C., and the Voting Rights Act; and Susan Berger’s images of streets throughout the United States named in honor of Martin Luther King.
Copies of Susan’s book, “Life and Soul – American Streets Honoring Martin Luther King” are available, as well as a small number of signed copies of Dan’s book, “Marching to the Freedom Dream.” If you are interested in a copy of either, please send us an email at info@artintersection.com.
This past Saturday marked a delightful occasion as we warmly hosted the artists of Little by Little, along with their families and friends, for the opening night of the exhibition. The crisp autumn air provided the perfect backdrop, adding an extra layer of charm to the evening. It was truly heartening to see the artists in the company of their captivating works, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with creativity and camaraderie. We’re grateful to have shared this memorable evening with such talented individuals!
These pieces are perfect for holiday gifts, so if one catches your eye send us an email at info@artintersection.com to make an inquiry! You can find the online gallery of the work here, if you aren’t able to make it to Gallery 4 to see the show in person at HD South.
Art Intersection hosted a dry plate negative demonstration with Lisa Zirbel’s photography class. The dry plates came from Zebra in Slovenia. Bob Rice was in charge of the developing of the plates after each student exposed the negatives taking portraits using Calumet 4×5 cameras.
Gelatin silver contact sheets were made from each negative, with the take away for each students being a dry plate negative and a contact print. Fun afternoon!
Bob Sadler presented his experimental work created using Artificial Intelligence during a Zoom call. After his presentation and demonstration, Bob let the callers describe an image. The description was roadrunner bird, at the Grand Canyon, with a rain storm.
Here’s what was created in about four minutes from start to finish.
From this introduction by Bob, I believe AI will find a place in art and photography, and will continue to expand it’s presence as the technology continues to develop.
Very cool and informative time with you, thank you Bob!

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting our Advanced Digital Printing workshop, led by Richard Jackson. In this intensive class, students delved into the art of dissecting their images, honing their skills in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to produce striking prints that are exhibition-ready and perfect for showcasing and enjoying in the comfort of their own homes.
Take a behind-the-scenes look at the workshop, and get a glimpse of the class as they refined their images in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, working towards producing remarkable prints and bringing their visions to life.
In the last month, we’ve hosted three engaging sessions of our “Capturing the Unexpected” street photography workshop, guided by the talented Neil A. Miller. Students courageously ventured beyond their comfort zones to capture life’s unscripted moments. Between sessions, they honed their observational skills in public spaces and meticulously curated their images to present a select few to Neil and their fellow photographers during the final session.
