Photo powwow: Review Santa Fe

“It’s great to go to Review Santa Fe and see all these creative people for two days and immerse yourself in their art, their world, and ask them to tell you their stories, why they’re doing what they’re doing and what their passion is,” said Mary Anne Redding about Center’s annual portfolio-review event for photographers and reviewers from magazines, galleries, and other venues. “I think most reviewers are looking for a body of work that interests them and is complete and that they think they can show in whatever venue.”

Center is a local nonprofit organization devoted to furthering the careers of photographers. Redding is one of more than 40 industry professionals invited to see the work of 100 photographers in the Review Santa Fe Festival, which takes place from Thursday, June 11, to Sunday, June 14. The colloquium, now in its 15th year, was established to facilitate relationships between photographers and professionals looking for new work. Redding is curator with the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. She was previously curator of the Marion Center for Photographic Arts and chair of the photography department at Santa Fe University of Art and Design; and before that she was the curator of photography at New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors. “I’m on Center’s advisory board, and for me and a lot of other reviewers it’s a great way to see a lot of photography with an eye toward exhibitions and publication. It’s also an opportunity to network with people in the industry. One thing that’s nice about the Turchin Center is that we show all media by local, national, and international artists. I’d especially love to bring work by emerging photographers here.”
