Society of Photographic Educators Conference

First Friday is coming a little early this month with the 35th annual Society of Photographic Educators Conference: a handful of area galleries currently featuring photography exhibits will hold receptions on Friday night. Among them are Snyderman (featuring work by Stuart Rome); Schmidt/Dean (showing work by Alida Fish); UArts' Sol Mednick Gallery (exhibiting Pinky/MM Bass' Body Nostalgia), and more. The conference—held March 26-28 at the Adam's Mark Hotel—features Joel-Peter Witkin, the photographer known for his vintage-style photos of deformed and mutilated subjects, as the keynote speaker; panel discussions; a recycled print rummage sale/auction; workshops; portfolio reviews and more.

Society of Photographic Educators Conference, Thu.-Sat., March 26-29, Adam's Mark Hotel, City Line Avenue & Monument Road. For info on participating venues, see Galleries section of listings. For info on SPE, call (904) 254-3000 ext. 3944, or visit www.SPEnational.org.
