She has curated over 40 exhibitions at MoPA and has written numerous books, catalogs, essays and articles on various aspects of photography.

DISCOUNT:
Artists who entered any work in any previous Art of Photography Show or Art of Digital Show will receive a $15 discount towards The Art of Photography Show 2008.

SHOW CATALOG:
We are producing a superb Show Catalog, which will feature every image which is in the Show and an artist statement about the work. Artists who are in the Show can obtain as many copies of the Show Catalog as they like for free, which can be used for promotion and marketing of their work.

MARKETING & PUBLICITY:
The Art of Photography Show 2008 will be pursuing an intensive marketing and publicity campaign to bring maximum media attention to the artists who are juried into the exhibition. Over 20,000 people are expected to view the Show during the four-week run at the Lyceum Theatre gallery, which is open (free) seven days a week. So, the artists and their work will receive a tremendous amount of exposure by the media and the public.

SALES:
One of our key aims is to sell the work that is exhibited at The Art of Photography Show 2008. Our great love of this art form (and being photographic artists ourselves) prompts us to ‘pull out all of the stops’ in order to showcase a truly excellent presentation of photographic art, to elevate and promote this art form, and to provide substantial benefits to the exhibiting artists.
