Upcoming Exhibit
2001-09-05 by Jennifer Drucker
Hi All,
I am new to this list, but many people know me from the Piezo list. Antonis suggested I let everyone
know about an upcoming group exhibit I am part of. Its the Women in Photography 20th Anniversary
Exhibit in San Juan Capistrano, California. The show runs from October 15th - November 11th.
The opening is on October 20th at 1pm at the House of Photographic Art. The image they have
chosen for the show is called 'Fading' and is on the front page of my website. It is a Piezo print
on Somerset Enhanced. If anyone is interested in
receiving an electronic version of the invitation, please let me know off list and I will e-mail it to you.
I will be flying from New York for the weekend, so if some of us could get together after the opening that
would be great. I have also enclosed the press release below...
Thanks,
- Jennifer

TEA TIME IS BREWING !
Women In Photography International Celebrates 20th
Anniversary
"Images of Women - Images of Tea"
Oct.10 to Nov.15, 2001 at the House of Photographic Art (HOPA) in San Juan
Capistrano, CA.
Los Angeles: To celebrate its 20th Anniversary as the world's leading photo
resource organization for women working in the photographic arts, Women In
Photography International (WIPI) kicks off the \traveling exhibition
International Tea Time: Images of Women - Images of Tea at the House of
Photographic Art in San Juan Capistrano.
The theme for the juried exhibition was inspired by a wonderful image of a
teapot by the late photographer Linda McCartney, which will be exhibited
along with 75 stunning images from 60 women artists. The images were chosen
from over 1000 images submitted by women photographers from around the world,
representing countries such as Australia, Canada, England, Greece, Italy,
Kuwait, Scotland, and the USA, to name a few. Many of these remarkable
photographs will be available for purchase. The exhibition will travel
throughout the USA and internationally over the next two years, with
invitations from Cuba, Italy, Pakistan and others.
"We are thrilled to announce that Linda McCartney's print, T-Pot, will be on
exhibit as well as a beautiful serene photograph by her daughter Mary
McCartney Donald. Our Anniversary exhibit is a wonderful testament to the
success of women photographers in the 21st century," said Jean Ferro, photo
artist and president of WIPI.
Winner of the first place award in the Tea category is "Afternoons," a
striking fine-art composition of tea bags taken by Dar Spain. Carol Nye won
first place in the Women category with her moment-in-time documentary-style
image of two "Veiled Women" in China. Each first place winner will receive
an archival digital printer donated by Epson, USA.
The exhibition was juried by Cornelia H. Butler, Photo Curator of the Museum
of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, and Joyce Wilson, award-winning
fine art photographer and a Professor of Photography at Brooks Institute,
Santa Barbara, CA. Juror Joyce Wilson commented, "Throughout history, women
have been the storytellers, and it is with dignity and grace that these
images tell endless stories."
Women In Photography International was created in 1981 as a 501.c.3
educational outreach organization by a group of women photographers who were
keen to communicate ideas, opportunities and their passion for photography.
In 1985, the Distinguished Photographers Award was established to honor
women who have contributed significantly to the world of photography.
Previous winners include: Eve Arnold, Ruth Bernhard, Judy Dater, Marion Post
Wolcott, Linda McCartney, Mary Ellen Mark, Ruth Orkin, Joyce Tenneson and
Berenice Abbott.
WIPI promotes the visibility of women photographers and their work. The web
site provides member galleries, reference library, and the F2-eZine, which
contains articles from around the globe, marketing news, photography links,
book reviews, and listings for competitions. For more information please
