The Janet Levine March Gallery will feature the work of the Society of Nashville’s Artistic Photographers (SNAP). SNAP has become known for its excellence in fine art photography, creating images that make the viewer smile, think, question, or wonder. Members’ work has been shown not only in local and regional exhibitions and collections, but also in national and international forums as well. The current exhibition at the Gordon JCC is curated by Chris Harris, from the MTSU Department of Media Arts. Harris has compiled a collection of 40 images that vary in technique, style, and viewpoints, showing that fine art photography may be both serious and playful.
SNAP was formed in 2004 when a small group of Nashville photographers met to form an informal group that would concentrate on the creative aspect of photography. Today SNAP provides a forum for discussing the work of members and notable photographers. Building on the advantage of being small and informal, SNAP enables members to have active conversations with each other as well as outside experts-- sharing wisdom, projects, and insights. In short, SNAP is dedicated to promoting fine art photography in Nashville.
