While you can still stroll through the DCist Exposed Photography Show anytime during Long View Gallery’s regular hours until March 21, we still have one more big event before the show closes. Pink Line Project’s fantastic Emerge Exposed: Photography for the Emerging Collector panel discussion is back for its third year, featuring three great people from the local art community who will discuss that other side of the art exhibit: purchasing a piece for your very own. Art buying can be a confusing, intimidating task if you’ve never done it before, so the panel will give you tips and ideas and be available for all your questions, including information about framing, image quality, and heck, how do you even know what you like enough to actually take home with you?

Join us next Tuesday, March 16 at 7 p.m. to listen to George Hemphill, owner of the eponymous fine art gallery on 14th Street NW and board member of FotoweekDC (he also represents one of my absolute favorite photographers, Hiroshi Sugimoto), Leena Jayaswal, Associate Professor at American University and head of the school’s photography concentration, and Max Hirshfeld, a locally based, acclaimed photographer. Philippa Hughes from the Pink Line Project will moderate. Buy your tickets for $8 in advance or $10 at the door. This event has sold out the last two years, so we recommend grabbing a ticket soon!
