Our first patio sale in three years was welcomed by mother nature with rain and wind. We made it through and scheduled a repeat patio sale for November 12, and hoping for sunny weather.

Our After Hours Members Mixer hosted photographer Neil A. Miller and Art Intersection members in the galleries with lively conversation, local Arizona wines and bruschetta.
Neil’s presentation took us through the transition of his work and process into a digital realm, while recounting stories from the past fifteen years of his photography.
Thank you Neil and all of the members that joined us for this mixer.
After three years without one, today we held one of our Portfolio Sharing Event at the Art Intersection galleries! During this mid-day event members have the opportunity to share their what they have been working on both with the public and each other.
If you are not already a member of the Art Intersection community and would like to participate in future portfolio sharing events, you can sign up here.
Thank you to everyone who attended the opening reception for our Picturing Resistance exhibition this past Saturday, where we had the pleasure of having author and performer Ada McCartney read selections of her own poems, as well as from Diane di Prima’s Revolutionary Letters in the passionate spirit of the images displayed on the walls in this exhibition.
Picturing Resistance will run until October 22nd, so there is still plenty of time to drop by and see the exhibition. In the meantime, have a look at a few moments from the opening reception!
In addition to selecting the work featured the Picturing Resistance exhibition, Ken Light has images from his book, Midnight la Frontera, on display in Ryan Gallery. These images, while captured between 1983 and 1987 while he rode along with U.S. Border Patrol agents, depict the same inhumane treatment migrants face today at our border. Both Picturing Resistance and Midnight La Frontera will be available to view at Art Intersection until October 22nd.
After a couple years it was wonderful to host our Exploring Photography teen summer camp again!
Over four afternoons last week, instructor Lisa Zirbel taught our students the fundamentals of photography across both digital and traditional film mediums. Students learned how to shoot 35mm black and white film with manual SLR cameras and make enlargements from their film in our photo lab. They also had the opportunity to make studio-lit portraits, which they processed using Adobe Photoshop to make inkjet prints of their photos. They even mixed film and digital photography both by making cyanotypes using negatives printed digitally from their own images, as well as by using botanicals and expired photo paper to make lumen prints in the sun during class.
To end all of our teen camps, on the final day we pin the students’ work on the wall and invite their families for a critique session to reflect on what they learned and the challenges they faced while creating their art.
Over the weekend of July 15-17 Art Intersection hosted a Mordançage workshop instructed by Mordançeuse Elizabeth Opalenik. Students experienced a range of papers, developers, and print making techniques in their exploration of Mordançage.
Take a look at Elizabeth Opalenik’s website to see her creations.

It was great to have Fred Ullrich share his photographic journey with our members over some wine and bruschetta this past Friday evening at our After Hours Member Mixer.
