Mid-Atlantic Chapter

Message from the Chair

We are excited to announce the 2018 SPEMA Chapter Pop Up which will be hosted and sponsored by Tyler School of Art on Saturday October 6. The theme for the retreat is Teaching Photography. 

The retreat will offer an array of talks, panels, demonstrations and a portfolio throwdown. On Friday October 5, the Tyler Photography Program is hosting a Vendor's Day and all participants in the SPEMA Chapter Pop Up are welcome to attend. 

Setting the model with this first event, we will pass along knowledge gained to anyone who wants to hold a similar event in their home school or venue.

Tyler School of Art is donating free printing of all images. Each image will be printed using Photo Tex Adhesive materials. The selected photographers will each provide a high resolution file for us to print. Images will be adhered to the walls in the Photography Program galleries from September 17 – October 13, 2018.
