THE EXHIBITION
In the "Vanishing Florida" Exhibition, Photo Salon Photographers explore the textures, colors, humor, symbols, and more from the vanishing Florida we love, and hope they serve to remind you of the beauty that brought us here, and keeps us here.
Members of Photo Salon realized over time that many of their photographs captured the beauty, the charm, the people, places and things they’ve found most interesting in South Florida, and that many of these things were quickly disappearing. So the idea for "Vanishing Florida" was born.
The exhibition is a tribute to the eroding beaches and failing seawalls, vintage buildings and architecture, endangered wildlife, small towns, and the natives who have long called this state home.
The exhibit is a juried show, with photographs selected by Charles Stainback, the William and Sarah Ross Soter Curator of Photography at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. Previously, he was the Dayton Director of the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery and Professor of Liberal Studies at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. |
