Greetings!

A million THANK YOU'S to everyone that nominated Nueva Luz for a Lucie Award! We are excitedly awaiting the ceremony on October 20 to find out the results.

Join us the evening before, for an Artist Talk in collaboration with the Lucie Foundation: October 19 at Splashlight Studios (see below)!

Keeping the economy in mind, we've added NEW benefits to our Membership program: even more discounts, free admission to ICP and other photo museums throughout the country. The government may be talking about cut backs, but we want to help you make and go see some art!

Be Well,
