an exhibit by one of the most important photojournalists of the Mid East

I have been looking forward to this for a long time. If we can, perhaps we can get Foley to visit our class to show some of his work from the Middle East. See his website at http://www.billfoley.com/... his reception and talk at Marian Feb.22 will be a review-worthy event for our class.

Photojournalist Bill Foley will be showing his work in an exhibition entitled "Portraits—Life Unstaged—Photographs by Bill Foley" from February 19 - March 2 at Marian College in the Fisher Hall Art Gallery. An artist’s reception with a public gallery talk will take place February 22 from 5 – 7 p.m.; the public gallery talk will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Foley is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist with 29 years of experience in news, creative, editorial, and corporate photography. His assignments have taken him to more than 47 countries, including the Middle East and Eastern Europe, where he documented the conflict and human tragedy of those areas from the late 1970s until present. His work has been published in major newspapers, magazines, and books, and shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide. His photographs are held in a number of private collections. He is a leading photojournalist and sought after for lectures and workshops, teaching the power and potential of photography.

He will begin teaching at Marian College in the fall of 2007. For five years he was an adjunct professor at New York University in the Tisch School of the Arts. Now living in Indianapolis, Foley continues to work for a number of non-profit organizations and corporate clients, in addition to magazine assignments, and returns to New York regularly for select clients.

This exhibition is made possible by a grant from the Indiana Artist Craftsman, Inc.
