Contact: Making Images Using the Cyanotype Process is a workshop-based, community-generated exhibition comprised of images made by Houston’s public. Between February 25 and May 20, FotoFest invites Houston’s public to participate in a series of FREE artist-led workshops where guests will create images using the cyanotype photographic technique. At the conclusion of each workshop, guests are encouraged to present their creations on Silver Street Studios’ gallery walls for the duration of the exhibition.
Volunteers are needed to help with the workshops and as gallery hosts for the exhibition. Gallery Hosts are the people who allow us to keep our exhibitions open. They greet and count visitors, hand out exhibition guides and encourage visitors to return on Saturdays to try their hand at printmaking. There is Wi-Fi on site, snacks and water are provided. The perfect time to catch up on your reading, photo editing, and other small projects. The gallery can be chilly, please bring a sweater.
