“Under the Influence” – Student Photography Exhibit at FotoFoto Gallery in June

FotoFoto Gallery is proud to present “Under the Influence”, a photography exhibition featuring students from schools on Long Island and New York City.  Eleven of FotoFoto’s members are photography teachers who represent such institutions as the International Center of Photography, the Knox School, Long Island University CW Post, Nassau Community College, Suffolk County Community College, and Wantagh High School.  These instructors have each selected two of their students for inclusion in the show.  Students, along with their mentors, reviewed portfolios in order to select the very best possible imagery for this exhibition.  The students were then asked to prepare one framed piece each for the month long show.  As the semester draws to a close, these dedicated students are looking forward to showing their work in our beautiful gallery space and sharing the excitement of an opening reception with family, friends and the photography loving public.  “Under the Influence” will also include works from our 6 resident student artists.  Prizes will be awarded for the top images as selected by the gallery’s non-teaching artists.

This exhibit runs May 30th through June 29th.  The opening reception is Saturday, May 31st from 5pm – 7pm and is free and open to the public.

Coinciding with our student exhibition opening, our neighbors at Lotus Vintage are also promoting this event and celebrating with music, food, drinks – and a 25% off everything sale!  See the details below – as well as some of our student photography.
