Bruce Webber Gallery Collaborates with Palm Beach Photographic Centre and FOTOFUSION

The Bruce Webber Gallery in Lake Worth has collaborated with the Palm Beach Photographic Centre and FOTOFUSION to produce an inspiring exhibit of Fine Art photography by five South Florida artists.  The Rickie Report was able to preview the exhibit and meet with three of the principles who brought this event to fruition.  Don’t miss this exhibit, which runs through February 7th!

Bruce and Maryanne Webber have been involved with the art scene in Southern Florida for a long period of time.  Located on Lucerne Avenue in Lake Worth, they are extremely involved in their local community and supportive of many of the art events that happen there.

A little history will help set the stage because The Rickie Report wants to remind you that Lake Worth is celebrating its 100th Anniversary!  Originally begun in 1956 as Jennings Art Shop, Dick and Lucy Purnell purchased the business in 1960 and changed the name to The Art Shop. At that time the business operated out of one small storefront in part of its present location.

In 1970, Bruce Webber wandered into the cluttered little store and noticed the stack of boxes blocking the front door.  Offering to help out, Bruce started his apprenticeship the next day and a few years later purchased the business from the Purnells. The Purnells’ focus had been picture framing, art supplies, and a few prints. Bruce wanted to expand his business into a true fine art gallery and created the Bruce Webber Gallery.

In 1989 Bruce met Maryanne whose own gallery, on an adjacent street, specialized in handmade American Crafts by artists from around the USA. They married later that year and decided to combine their businesses. Maryanne relocated her shop next to the Bruce Webber Gallery and became Maryanne Webber Gallery. The Art Shop/ Bruce and Maryanne Webber Galleries continue to attract a variety of customers, new and old, to their unique stores.

Most recently, the Bruce Webber Gallery collaborated with The Palm Beach Photographic Centre and FOTOFUSION located in West Palm Beach, to bring five South Florida artists together.  The exhibit includes the work of Wayne Becker, Durga Garcia, Tom McCartney, Steve Spring and Stephane Vercruysse.

Each artist brings their own sense of creativity to their subject matter, be it landscape, seascape, portrait or mixed media of encaustic with photography and hand embellished paint.    Wayne Becker is a former professional illustrator and animator who worked with the Disney organization.  He currently is an important and valued volunteer and teacher at The Palm Beach Photographic Centre.

1)   FOTOcamp for Kids 2012

 

Four Sessions Planned this Summer for Children & Teens, Ages 6 to 17

 
Fatima NeJame, president and chief executive officer of the world renowned Palm Beach Photographic Centre (PBPC), today announced that this summer the nonprofit organization will be offering four, age appropriate FOTOcamps for children and teens.
 
Summer FOTOfun Minicamp
+ June 25-29  /  9 a.m. to noon
For ages 6-8
 
FOTOcamp for Kids
+ June 11-22  /  9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
+ July 9-20  /  9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
+ July 23 – August 3  /  9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For ages 9-17
 

“FOTOcamp is for anyone between the ages of 6 and 17 that has an interest in photography and/or computers, and who are inquisitive and like adventure,” says NeJame.  “It is the perfect opportunity for youngsters and teens to gain knowledge in all areas of photography, beginning with the basics of picture-taking using SLR digital cameras and progressing to state-of the-art digital imaging, at each participant’s own rate of speed.”

 

“FOTOcamp is my favorite time of the year,” she adds. “I enjoy seeing the amazing images the kids come back with from their field trips, and I love to see their reactions when working in a real studio.”  FOTOcamp students are grouped by their level of experience, from beginner to advanced in each of three 2-week summer sessions. Students are each issued a digital SLR Camera and while exploring lens choices, lighting, and composition of photographs they will learn about photography and digital imaging, in a fun and fact-filled environment. Sessions in the computer lab will expose them to downloading images to the computer, saving and renaming files, burning CDs, and creating slide shows.

 

In addition, using Adobe Photoshop and Elements, they will learn image adjustment techniques such as color correction, compositing images, adjustment layers and layer masks and other digital imaging technology. The computer lab is set up so that each student has access to a computer ensuring the ultimate hands-on experience. Location shooting and photographic assignments give them the opportunity to practice their skills while acquiring new images.

 

Based at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre in downtown West Palm Beach, all sessions of FOTOcamp will include a professional instructor and an assistant, with opportunities for both individualized and group critiques for each student.  The culmination of all three sessions of FOTOcamp for Kids will be a special exhibition of photos taken by the young students. At the exhibition’s opening on August 24, one talented FOTOcamper will be named Student of the Year and receive a free SLR Digital camera.

 

The cost to attend the Summer FOTOfun Minicamp for ages 6-8 is $345 for Photo Centre members and $375 for nonmembers. This covers five 3-hour sessions.  The cost to attend one of the three two-week session of FOTOcamp for Kids is only $695 for Photo Centre members and $745 for nonmembers.  This covers 10 6-hour sessions and includes use of digital SLR Cameras, transportation and admission fees for the fieldtrips, t-shirts, prints, etc. To register for either the Summer FOTOfun Minicamp or one of the three sessions of FOTOcamp for Kids, please call 561.253.2600 or visit www.workshop.org.

 

Now running through June 9 at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre is WYNN BULLOCK: Insights & Surprises. A mid-twentieth century master photographer, Wynn Bullock is best known for his evocative black and white images, he also created a significant body of color work he called “Color Light Abstractions.” This exhibition includes a 44-print traveling exhibit of Bullock’s Color Light Abstractions, as well as a fine selection of his vintage black & white photographs, a representative collection of his images from the family’s new black & white estate print program, and a small, yet revealing, group of vintage photographs by Wynn’s wife Edna, who began her own notable career as a creative photographer at age 61, a year after Wynn’s death in 1975.

Wynn Bullock: Insights and Surprises

 Palm Beach Photographic Centre to Present

WYNN BULLOCK:

Insights & Surprises

March 21 – June 9, 2012

Fatima NeJame, president and chief executive officer of the world-renowned Palm Beach Photographic Centre (PBPC), revealed the next exhibition scheduled to run at the nonprofit organization located within City Center in downtown West Palm Beach.

Members of the Bullock Family to Attend Opening Night Reception – 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Followed by ‘Conversations on Bullock Photography’ in the West Palm Beach Library Auditorium – 7:30 p.m.

A mid-twentieth century master photographer, Wynn Bullock is best known for his evocative black and white images.  Few people are aware that in the early 1960s he also created a significant body of color work he called “Color Light Abstractions.”

Hampered by the limitations of color printing at the time, Bullock was unable to produce stable, long-lasting prints from his original 35mm Kodachrome slides.  As a consequence, his work was rarely exhibited, except occasionally in the form of slide shows and illustrated lectures.

Sea Palms 1968

For more than 50 years, Bullock’s original slides have remained carefully preserved in the dark by his family.  Two years ago, the Bullock Estate began creating a digital archive of the images in its family collections and producing high-quality archival prints through which it is re-introducing this remarkably innovative imagery to the world.

Featuring a contemporary 44-print traveling exhibit of Bullock’s Color Light Abstractions, the Palm Beach Photographic Centre’s show Wynn Bullock: Insights and Surprises also includes a fine selection of Bullock’s vintage black & white photographs; a representative collection of his images from the family’s new black & white estate print program; and a small, yet revealing, group of vintage photographs by Wynn’s wife Edna, who began her own notable career as a creative photographer at age 61, a year after Wynn’s death in 1975.

Opening Night Reception & Conversation with Members of the Bullock Family   -   March 21

+ Reception – 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The Palm Beach Photographic Centre will host an Opening Night Reception in the museum with members of the Bullock Family in attendance. The public is invited to attend this FREE event.

+ Conversation – 7:30 p.m.

The Palm Beach Photographic Centre will host A Conversation on Bullock Photography in the auditorium of the West Palm Beach Library, PBPC’s City Center neighbor. The cost to attend is FREE for members of the Palm Beach Photographic Centre and the Norton Museum of Art, and $10 per nonmember.

Facilitated by Tim Wride, Curator of Photography at the Norton Museum, this lively and informal discussion will include Brett Abbott, Curator of Photography at the High Museum in Atlanta; Gordon Brown, the 2012 recipient of the Centre’s FotoFusion Golden Career Award; Ray Merritt, photography curator and writer; and Bullock’s older daughter and manager of the Bullock Estate, Barbara Bullock-Wilson and her husband Gene Bullock-Wilson.

1960 Color Abstraction

The hour-long event will include a short PowerPoint presentation created by Brown illustrating his relationships with both Bullock photographers and there will be ample time for questions and comments from the audience.

About the Palm Beach Photographic Centre:  The PCBPC  is located at the City Center municipal complex at 415 Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday – Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, please call 561.253.2600 or visit www.workshop.org or www.fotofusion.org
