SEEN 2009: Call For Photographers

For those who blow down Manchester or Sutton on a regular basis, it is obvious that Maplewood has an eclectic restaurant district (and probably the last shop in town to sell and repair typewriters). What is not readily discernible to the eye is the great number of art and photography studios. Studio Althus is one of them. Though they stay under the radar most of the year, snapping shutters and hitting flash buttons for private clients, they do invite the public into their space every December for SEEN, a juried group photography show that includes work from amateurs and professional, avant-gardists and straightforward commercial shootists. The studio is accepting entries for this year's exhbit until November 6, with work judged by a blind jury; the top 50 entries will be shown through the month of December. There are all sorts of groovy cash prizes and stuff, too; if you're a curious photographer, you can jump over here for more info. --Stefene Russell
