[BCMA] Impressions of China - Art Exhibition & Opening Reception

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Join us on Sunday October 4th from 2-4pm for an illuminating reception to be
inspired by the sights and stories of China. The participating artists will
share a presentation of their cultural experience in China as a delegation
of North American artists. 

Whether you are a budding photographer, an arts and culture buff, or simply
planning a trip to China, this is an event for you. Throughout the
exhibition, we encourage your votes for favourite photograph, which will be
awarded "People's Choice" in December. 

 

 



 

The exhibition that has been shown at two Pacific Northwest Chinese gardens
this spring and summer is coming to Vancouver this fall and showcases
China's cultural wonders via photography.

It features the work of 15 U.S. artists from five different states, led by
photographer Ray Pfortner and Nancy Wing. The delegation visited China's
cultural wonders as part of a photography and other media cultural exchange
in early 2014 as part of the Washington State's WTE Professional & Cultural
Exchange program. Locations and sites explored included five UNESCO World
Heritage Sites like classical Chinese scholar's gardens, the Great Wall of
China, the Summer Palace and many other sites from Shanghai to Suzhou and
Hangzhou to Beijing.

In addition to visiting and photographing China's cultural wonders during
the exchange, the delegation also toured well-known Chinese art galleries,
held formal meetings with China's premier stock photography agency and met
with Xi Zhinong, China's foremost wildlife photographer.

On the exchange, the 15 U.S. artists captured more than 100,000 photographs,
which have been distilled to the top 30 images as selected by the exhibition
jury to be on display in the gardens.
