FOTOcamp 2016 Exhibit
In addition to the MEMBERS’ JURIED EXHIBITION, the Palm Beach Photographic Centre also will be presenting the FOTOcamp 2016 Exhibit, which will showcase impressive works by the emerging talent of young photographers who participated in this summer’s annual FOTOcamp program.
“Some of the kids participating in FOTOcamp this summer traveled here from all over to attend the camp,” says NeJame. “We had two sisters from the Ukraine this year, and a repeat student from Morocco. Others come annually from around the U.S., including Connecticut, California and Massachusetts, as well as from all over the state of Florida.”
At the dual Opening Reception on August 26, the best student portfolio from FOTOcamp 2016 will win a DSLR camera.
