Photographic Exploration at the
Bereskin Gallery  Bettendorf Iowa

                               Hey Riverbenders -- Amazing Gallery Opportunity!

As we advised previously, Pat Bereskin, the owner of the Bereskin Gallery in Bettendorf and a strong patron of the arts, has extended an invitation to members of the Riverbend Photo Video Club and Local Photographers to display and offer for sale some of their photographic artwork at the Bereskin Gallery during the month of February 2021.  She is calling this the Photographic Exhibition Project.  We noted the impressive quality of photographic art that our members displayed at our photo print exhibition last year at the Bettendorf Library.   Now you have the opportunity to display and possibly sell up to two of your great photographs.

Why should you participate?  First, because doing so would allow you to share your artistic vision and accomplishments with others.  Second, you would help bring photographic artwork into its rightful place in the art world through display in a first class Gallery.  Finally, viewers might then have the opportunity to purchase your art and display it for their own enjoyment in their own homes.

We have attached the Gallery's "Call for Photographs" announcement to this email.  The process for entering is very simple.  First, review the details in this call for photographs.  Second, make a small preview photo of each of the one or two photographs you would like to submit for consideration and send those in online as directed.  Finally, print out the "Call for Photographs" sheet, fill in the basic information requested, and mail it to the Bereskin Gallery as directed before the January 2, 2021 deadline.  The jury will then screen submissions for this Project and if your photographic art is selected for the display, you will be contacted by the Gallery and you will then need to deliver your finished, ready to hang artwork to the Gallery by the deadline date of January 22, 2021.  Note that Pat Bereskin has graciously waived the normal $20 preview entry fee for members of the Riverbend Photo Video Club, so there is no cost for you to participate.

You may have further questions about this Project or about procedural details.  If so, Joe Maciejko is coordinating this project with the Gallery so please feel free to email or call him with any questions or other inquiries at:  [email protected] or 563-650-4178.
