Greetings!

It has been a productive Spring so far - our New Works #11 exhibit opens this week, we have two great workshops coming up, Nueva Luz is coming out, the deadline for New Works #12 is practially around the corner... and, we are too excited to keep it to ourselves: our 2nd Portfolio Reviews Session is scheduled for Sept 13. We are working on a great lineup of curators, gallerists and editors for you to meet with!

In the meantime we would LOVE to hear from you: if En Foco were to offer a Darkroom Residency (yes, a wet darkroom) in NYC, would you apply?  Please send your responses to: suggestions@enfoco.org - inquiring minds want to know!

Best Wishes,

Miriam, Marisol, Janine, Daniel
