I love the idea of going dressing up on a summer evening and walking to a cool, artistic photography exhibit where I see cool art and have interesting, intelligent conversations about important things. I love the idea of that, and I will attempt to breathe life into this idea by putting on a good pair of earrings, at least, and most likely driving (although I will walk from my car to the building), where I will most definitely by seeing cool art and having interesting conversations about important things, and maybe some unimportant topics as well (Do you think Jon and Kate went to counseling?)
Justin Hackworth and his incredible wife, Amy are great friends and both amazing artists. He takes pictures and she is a writer of words. They are both charming, cool, and generous. You want to be friends with them and you wish Justin could follow you around and record little moments of you and your family’s life.
So this Thursday come and make a donation to The Center for Women and Children in Crisis, and set up a time in the near future for your family portrait. You do this kind of thing now. You go to photography exhibits and donate to charities and have incredible, unique family portraits done. It’s who you are.
Date: Thursday, July 2
Time: 6-9 pm
Location: Knight-Block Building
1 East Center Street, Suite 215 Provo
Donations are made on the night of the exhibit, and portrait sessions are scheduled on select dates July through September.
Join one photographer and 30 Strangers in helping local victims of domestic violence. For each day in April 2009 Justin Hackworth photographed a mother and daughter he had never met before (see the portraits here). Instead of paying a session fee, these 30 Strangers made donations to the Center for Women and Children in Crisis.
Now you can do the very same thing.
At the 30 Strangers Exhibit Opening Reception, you can make a $25 donation and receive a mother-daughter portrait session of your own. For a $75 donation, you’ll receive a family portrait session. Donate on July 2 and schedule your session on select dates through September.
Be a part of art and activism. And don’t be a stranger.
