ANNOUNCING EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS FOR PHOTOVILLE 2013
BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK - THE UPLANDS OF PIER 5
SEPTEMBER 19 - 29, 2013
Dear members from UNITED PHOTO PRESS,
It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the unbelievable line up for this year's PHOTOVILLE! Same Park - Different Pier :) That's right - we have moved down to the uplands of Pier 5 in Brooklyn Bridge Park and we'll be dropping 50 Shipping Containers and a Beer Garden in 74,000 sq. feet of space.
It was quite the task for our little band of misfits who dream big and play hard and we couldn't do it without all of our amazing programming partners & artists as well as our friends at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Photo District News, B&H Photo, Two Trees Management, Duggal Visual Solutions, DUMBO Business Improvement District, and One Brooklyn Bridge Park – so THANK YOU!
Photoville will feature 48 exhibitions both inside and outside of containers, 7 awesome nighttime events, over fifty (yes, 50) talks and workshops and let's not even start with our super cool beer garden run by Brooklyn's own Greenwood Park Bar serving ice cold Brooklyn Brewery beers and delicious meals from rotating NYC Food Trucks!
We are also partnering with some amazing Brooklyn Cultural events including Marty Markowitz’sBrooklyn Book Festival (Sept 16 - 22) as an official Book End event on September 21, 2013 as well as the DUMBO Arts Festival (Sept 27 – 29) – A free community arts event where the idea of Photoville was original conceived and we will be exhibiting work there as well!
Later this week, we'll be announcing our full daytime programming schedule and keep your eyes peeled as we announce additional partners and photographers in the coming weeks, populate our website with all the details, look for more volunteers...all while dropping containers one by one to build the Photo Village you know and love!
So, with that - mark your calendars and start counting down - only 23 days to go!
and be prepared: this may be the longest email you read this year!

AXS Map (Access Map) is a public art project that photographer Jason DaSilva was inspired to create after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of twenty five. It is a crowd-sourced tool to rate and review accessible locations.

In 2012 United Photo Industries commissioned Gardener André Feliciano to cultivate a Camera Greenhouse which captivated young and old and was a highlight of PHOTOVILLE last year! This year, we gave Andre an assignment: Impress us even more! And boy, he sure has! This year, Andre will cultivate Photography in a symbolic way: he will play Photographic Dodge with visitors and create a Photographic Orchard with Cherry Blossom Trees smack bang in the middle of our village. Andre – Welcome back!
