fotofoto gallery is proud to present an exhibition of photographs by student photographers from Long Island and New York schools. Of the Gallery’s twenty-one artists, eleven are photography teachers representing The International Center of Photography, Long Island University CW Post, Nassau Community College, Suffolk County Community College, the Knox School, and Wantagh High School. Each teacher selected two students to be included in the show. Students and their mentors reviewed portfolios making sure to select the very best possible imagery for this exhibition. Students were asked to prepare one framed piece for the month long show. As the semester draws to a close, dedicated students look forward to showing their work in a beautiful gallery space and sharing the excitement of an opening reception with family and friends. In addition to our invited student photographers, fotofoto will feature work from our 6 resident student artists. They are: Mickey Aloisio, Geng Jie, Ali Neisen, Melissa Pelliccia, Susan Sandoval, and Jessica Venier. Prizes for winning images will be selected by the Gallery’s non-teaching artists.
The reception is free and open to the general public. Visit fotofotogallery.org for additional information.
