We are thrilled to bring Photoville back to Winchester this summer for a pop up public installation! Creating a photographic walking trail around Judkin’s Pond, where the Griffin Museum is located, the Pop Up is a public photo installation showcasing national, international and New England artists. This year we also bring sidewalk art to downtown Winchester, featuring contemporary New England based photographic artists and featured images from the Arthur Griffin archives. The Griffin Museum is pleased to partner with Photoville and the Winchester Cultural District to bring this Pop Up to Winchester, featuring 13 installations in photographic partnerships with the United Nations, Atlantic Magazine and Leica Camera USA, featuring the creativity and community of women and BIPOC artists alongside our local New England Photographic Community, highlighting the people and communities they inhabit.

America loves baseball, the boys of summer and our days in the sun. This exhibition features the timeless photography created by Winchester native Arthur Griffin, out of his archives housed at the Griffin Museum. Images of the Boston Braves, Red Sox and the crowds that celebrate the wins and losses of their favorite teams.

The Touchstones project is a visual conversation between artists Sal Taylor Kydd and Dawn Surratt. This project explores themes of connection, isolation and loss as well as adaptability and creativity as the world has been challenged with a life threatening pandemic. Both artists live on the East coast, separated by two thousand miles in physical terms, but less than a minute in the virtual sense. Through a series of photographic diptychs and poems, the work has evolved as a call and response, as they each responded to the other’s work, pairing photographs and writing, building on the foundation of trust and understanding that continues to grow between the two artists.

This will be an exploratory and fun class geared toward children age 9 – 12 (approximately grades 4 – 6). For one week we’ll explore the world through the camera’s lens together. In this class, we’ll use fun activities to learn about creative camera settings, composition, lighting and shadows, and posing. We’ll do some street photography, fun ‘trick’ photography, portraits, documentary style photography and talk about the fundamentals of image creation using an exercise with cyanotype fabric. One day will be spent exploring nearby Wright Locke Farm as part of our documentary lesson. On the final day, families are invited back in the evening for a presentation of the student’s images plus s’mores on the terrace!

The results are in! Over 2,000 images were submitted to our jurors Frances Jakubek and Iaritza Menjivar, and narrowed to 60. Thank you to everyone in our Griffin artist community who submitted images, making this jurying process so difficult. We are thrilled to showcase this years artists as part of our larger creative artists community.
