The Atlanta Photographic Society is having its annual Salon in October.
We encourage all members to participate, including our e-mail members.
The Salon is the Atlanta Photographic Society’s major image exhibition for the year, held during October in conjunction with Atlanta Celebrates Photography. This is every club members’ chance to showcase their best images for viewing by the public. Framed images are judged by three photographic professionals and awards are given for Best in Show, and 1st, 2nd, 3rd places plus Honorable Mentions for both Black and White, and Color prints. Awards are bestowed/celebrated during the reception. Please be sure to invite your friends and family.
Salon Dates and Times:
Collect your best, most creative images and rev up your printers to prepare for the APS Salon. This year’s Salon will be held October 1-30 in conjunction with Atlanta Celebrates Photography. Look for the Atlanta Celebrates Photography (ACP) announcement of the APS Salon, both in the ACP 12 printed program and on the ACP website at http://www.acpinfo.org (early September). Our venue will be the Atlanta Unitarian Congregation’s wonderful gallery, located off the I-85 access road North.

Framing Resources
One of the most frequently asked questions regarding the Salon is, “Where can I get good, cheap frames?” The truly honest answer is that good frames aren’t cheap! But perhaps a more helpful answer is that good frames can be found for a reasonable price. Here are a couple of sources recommended by club members.
