Penland Auction Special Photography Portfolio Penland Annual Benefit Auction, August 13 - 14
Penland School is in the planning stages for an exciting new photography studio that will encompass both traditional and contemporary photographic technology and give our photography program a new home worthy of its history. To kick off our fundraising for this project, photographer, instructor, trustee (and former core fellowship student) Alida Fish has worked with a group of past Penland instructors to create a beautiful and historic photographic portfolio with an intimate relationship to the school.
The images range from those that include recognizable parts of the Penland campus (Pfahl, Sligh, Streetman, Uelsmann) to those that record some of the school's surroundings (Klett, Margolis, Menapace) to photographic constructions that were made, at least partially, at or near Penland (Fish, Nettles, Roberts, Tomczak). Several of them span more than one of these categories. The people who made and donated these photographs are all well-known both as teachers and as artists--Penland School is grateful for and proud of their support for the next Penland photography studio.
These photographs will be part of Penland's 2010 Annual Benefit Auction, which takes place August 13 - 14. You may bid by attending the auction or as an absentee bidder by paying a $25 bidding fee (includes printed catalog). Call 828-765-2359, ext. 30 or send e-mail to
