We were delighted to be a sponsor and exhibitor of this year’s Filter Photo Festival in Chicago! This was our first time attending the festival and we were very happy to see some familiar faces as well as meet so many talented artists.
The days were broken up into portfolio reviews, lectures, and workshops. In the evenings there were gallery openings and artist talks.
One evening we attended an artist talk by Clarissa Bonet at the Catherine Edelman Gallery. Clarissa received her M.F.A. in photography from Columbia College Chicago in 2012 and her exhibition of city spaces and light was very impressive.

One of our favorite events was the portfolio walk. Each artist was invited to have their work out on tables and it was open to the public. Artists, reviewers, friends and family, and the general public joined the festival for an evening of mingling, looking at and talking about artwork.
Most importantly we got to meet and hang out with some really talented and wonderful artists the whole weekend! Thank you to Filter for all their hard work and making us feel welcome! We hope to see everyone again next year.
