The third Upper Valley PhotoSlam 2012 exhibit will be on display beginning May 4th at the PHOTOSTOP Gallery. An opening reception, open to the general public, is scheduled for May 4 (a White River Junction, VT First Friday) from 5-8 pm. The exhibit continues through June 1, 2012. Music, food, and award presentations will all be part of the opening night festivities.
Gallery Director Lia Rothstein put out a call for photographers of all ages and levels of experience to submit their photos for this third annual photo event. Over 115 photographers of all ages (5 to who knows what), amateur to pro and everything in between, shared their photos for inclusion in the popular PhotoSlam event.
The Gallery had pledged to print at least one image from each photographer and, as a result, there will be over 185 photographs with diverse imagery on display once again. Color, black and white, and digitally manipulated images will all be shown.
Gallery hours are Weds. through Saturday from 12-5 pm during exhibitions. On First Fridays and opening nights, the gallery is open until 8 pm. Other hours are available by appointment.

Gallery visitors had a wonderful time at our opening reception on April 13th for Amy Thompson Avishai’s photography exhibit. Dartmouth professors Jamila Chahboun and Diana Abouali joined Amy for a panel discussion on the education of girls in rural Morocco. Soulful Celtic and folk music by Cut the Mustard (aka Cindy Crawford and Wayne Cripps) contributed to the festive mood. The exhibit continues through April 29. Extended gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday noon-5 and by appointment through the end of the month in tandem with the WRIF festival.
