Denver - SPE 2008 National Conference

The Society of Photographic Educators is having their National Conference in Denver, March 13th - 16th. The conference will take place at the Adam's Mark Hotel, in the heart of downtown Denver. This is the 45th annual conference and it's billed as "Agents of Change: Art and Advocacy."

Here's a statement from the Conference Chair.

The work of a photographic artist took center stage during the 108th United States Congress. On the agenda was the fate of drilling for oil in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). According to Secretary Gale Norton ANWR was “a flat white nothingness.” In response, Senator Barbara Boxer denounced drilling and held up a book of photographs by Subhanker Banerjee that showed the refuge brimming with life. Congress voted to save ANWR from drilling for two more years.

Lens-based artists have been catalysts for change with imagery that advocates social and environmental awareness. Artists bear witness, interpret, expose and address problems ranging from the Aids epidemic and stereotypes in race and gender to the plight of refugees in war torn countries. In what ways are artists responding to the local and global challenges that are reshaping politics, cultures, economies and the planet? As educators, artists and scholars, what has been the historical impact of our advocacy? What role will we play in shaping the future?

Denver and the Rocky Mountain West have long been home to diverse and often opposing political, social, economic and environmental interests. With fortunes historically linked to extractive industries like mining, natural gas, and oil, Denver is also a leader in urban planning and energy conservation. The Mile High City has been invigorated by major new projects in the arts. The Denver Art Museum has opened its new Hamilton Building, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind. The Denver Museum of Contemporary Art has broken ground for a new 27,000 square foot environmentally-efficient building. Denver is a dynamic and growing modern city that enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year and the magnificent Rocky Mountains in the backyard.

Joann Brennan
Conference Chair

Admission is expensive, not free. Please check the SPE Conference website for information about attending this event.

----------------------------------

Month of Photography

In addition to hosting the SPE conference this year, Denver is home to the Month of Photography celebration in March. Check the blog at http://303photo.blogspot.com for show listings, maps, events, calls for entry and more. Plan out your art fun while visiting the Mile High City and see what Denver has to offer!

It looks like the Denver art community is supporting this event by providing lots of interesting exhibitions. The blog mentioned above lists photography exhibitions.
