The Cleveland Photo Fest, which has been on view all month at the Bostwick Art Design Initiative, draws to a close this weekend. It’s hosting a big send-off closing reception on Friday September 29, with food, drink, live music and the chance to mingle with photographers and photography lovers.
It’s the final chance to see multiple rooms of exhibits. They include Suber Huang’s See and Be Seen, inspired by his work in vision research; Joan Lederer’s Diary of a Congolese Asylum Seeker and His Family, based on ten months spent following the refugee family; Jon Passow’s The West: Pinhole Color Landscapes, five large-format photos of the American West; and a body of self-portraiture called Adentro (Inside) by Mexican-born photographer Jimena Horta. Jazz photographer/educator Randy Norfus has a space devoted to work by his students, while another space hosts the Volunteer Appreciation Show, with work by the many photographers who have contributed to the event’s production.
Also on view is the Cleveland Open, which features photos by the community who brought their submissions to the gallery, with all submissions hung on the wall.
It’s free and open to all.
