After Supper Visions

A vast crowd of art enthusiasts was on-hand this weekend to see the Grand Opening of the 2013 ASV Photography Exhibition. The seventy-six photographers in the show were glad to meet all of the attendees and share their perspectives on the multitude of Chicago landmarks and nature settings represented in the gorgeous array of photos. As in previous years, many guests commented that the photos in the ASV Exhibit rival those in any other art gallery in the city. Final touches are being made on the new Shopping Cart feature of this website, so anyone wanting to purchase prints, note cards and holiday cards will be able to do so, within just a few days. Until then, enjoy these snapshots of the gallery opening last Friday. Congratulations to every one of the artists!

Seventy-six artists have chosen over 280 of their favorite photos. The Photo Team of volunteers has meticulously enlarged and framed every one of them. The 2013 ASV Photo Show is ready for its debut, and the artists have much to be proud of. Come join in the excitement as this expansive gallery of remarkable artwork opens to the public tomorrow, Friday, June 7th, from 5-7PM at Catholic Charities headquarters, 721 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago. The exhibit continues on Saturday, June 8th, from 1-3PM. We hope you agree this year’s show has definitely been worth the wait. Thank you for your interest in “After Supper Visions.”

ASV Photo Team Members (l. to r.) Jody O’Connor, Maureen Kelley and Ellen Gorney continue their behind-the-scenes work in preparation for the Eleventh Annual ASV Photo Exhibit on June 7th and 8th. Over 280 prints have been enlarged and beautifully framed. Over 75 artists will be participating in this year’s show, a dramatic increase over the 57 artists participating last year. New artists to the program have three photos in the show; returning artists each have four photos displayed. The gallery opens at 721 N. LaSalle Street from 5-7PM on Friday, June 7th, continuing from 1-3PM on Saturday, June 8th.

Come meet the artists who have captured spectacular images of Chicago on film, most with nothing more than a disposable camera. The event is free and open to the public. Many art patrons say they learn a great deal about photography, and about life, from speaking with the artists. All say the ASV Photo Show is one of the most unique and powerful summer art experiences in Chicago. We look forward to welcoming you to the 2013 ASV Photo Exhibition.
