Percha Bank Exposition-a celebration of photographic art

Rendezvous Southwest members invite you to their 3rd annual photographic art exposition in the Historic Percha Bank Gallery. Photographers from across the Western United States have assembled and curated a unique collection of work. The work is firmly rooted in tradition while encouraging creativity that advances the boundaries of contemporary photography. The work represented includes processes such as cyanotypes, platinum, palladium, lumens, pigment ink, gelatin silver, synthetic collages, hand-applied precious metals, and pigments. The photographs are created with film cameras, large format field cameras, handmade cameras, iPhones, digital cameras, or cameraless images.

The first Photographer’s Rendezvous was held in the American West under the tutelage of Al Weber, photographer, and educator. Eleven years ago the torch was passed to three western photographers and Rendezvous Southwest was formed to continue the tradition. Photographers from across the nation gather in Kingston, New Mexico to exchange progressive and educational ideas in traditional, digital, experimental, or alternative processes to promote the photographic art community.
