As you know, you can see the DCist Exposed Photography Show at Flashpoint anytime from Tuesday through Saturday, 12 to 6 p.m. through March 7, but we have one more big event associated with it. Last year we asked the Pink Line Project to hold a panel discussion during the exhibition, to talk to people about how and why one should buy art, particularly photography. The event sold out quickly and was packed with useful information for artists and patrons alike, so we asked Pink Line, in partnership with the Cultural Development Corporation, to come back and do it again this year.

On March 3, next Tuesday, we’ll be taking over Flashpoint’s Mead Theater Lab (entrance at the end of the gallery) from 7 to 9 p.m. We have a fresh new panel, so even if you came last year, we’d bet you’ll hear some new information this time around. Panelists include Theo Adamstein, founder of FotoweekDC and president of Chrome Imaging, Jason Horowitz, photographer, Veronica Jackson, collector and principle of the Jackson Design Group, and Paul Roth, Senior Curator of Photography and Media Arts for the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Moderated by Philippa P.B. Hughes from The Pink Line Project.

Hughes said about the discussion, “We’ve assembled a stellar group of speakers for our panel who will discuss various topics concerning collecting photography. How do you get started? What are the various processing techniques? What do edition sizes mean? How do you preserve photographs? What are the different forms of photographic art? Why collect photography? And so much more!” Please RSVP to info[at]thepinklineproject[dot]com. $10 suggested donation at the door.
