Dear All, The WPPD website's 2001 Gallery is a impressive exhibition in itself. As mentioned below, the idea for art councils to participate in Pinhole Day by providing access to darkroom facilities and scanners is a great one and easy to do. The pARTs Gallery in Minneapolis will be holding a WPPD Open House on the afternoon of April 28 in conjuction with a workshop that Bill Erickson and I are teaching. (Check the Related Events page on the Pinhole Day website: the open house will be listed there in a day or two.) The related events list is an excellent way for arts groups to let people in their area, and around the world, learn about the Pinhole Day events they'll be facilitating. The events can be a great way for WPPD contributors to connect with local pinholers. At the events page, art groups, galleries and other folks planning to conduct WPPD-related activities can submit information about their event to be added to the list. http://www.pinholeday.org http://www.pinholeday.org/participate/events.php
