Volunteers Needed for Photographic Opportunity
Julie Decker is organizing a project called FREEZE (www.freezeproject.org). This is a project involving a month-long series (January 2009) of public programs about the north (lectures, workshops, kids activities, book fair, energy fair, health fair...) and a series of large-scale, outdoor installations along the Delaney Park Strip. She would like to have photography play a big role in the project, and is looking for people interested in helping with the project. Activities include creating a calendar, teaching a kids' workshop on photography, working with a guest artist-in-residence, a photography competition, documenting events, etc.
Anyone interested in this project should contact Julie Decker: julied@alaskalife.net
