Hi All

My company is getting involved with a group in Kentucky for their Bi Annual Arts Festival. My wife, two dogs Barney and Lucy, will be attending in October , I hope some of you
can get involved by participating if you can, or drop into Louisville the third weekend in October. If you do on Fri 21 evening I will buy you a glass of wonderful Ontario Wine, hope to see you there.

here are the details:
*
Canadians Invade Kentucky Photo Biennial October 2011*
*
Many photographers have longed for an opportunity to show their personal work. How many times have you*stood in front of a fine art photography exhibit and said: "I can do that." Well, here's your chance to get the exposure you need to break in.
*
Canadians are invited by Elevator Exhibitions to join in the Canadian Invasion at the Kentucky Photo Biennial. In October, Canadian's will be celebrated as*the highlight of the Photography Festival in Louisville.
*
This opportunity*for a Fine Art Photography Cultural Exchange between Canada and the US*has been created by Elevator Exhibitions, the newest part of the Elevator family.* With our collective connections to the American photography scene, we are taking a truckload of*fabulous photography down to Louisville.*The 2011 Kentucky Photo Biennial will be the first in a series of*travelling exhibitions.
*
The Louisville Kentucky*Photography Biennial is*on for the month of October.
The Canadian Invasion by the Elevator team, and any photographers willing to make the trek, will be on the weekend of October 21, 22, 23. Various gallerys will be hosting various parties on those three*days. This is an excellent opportunity to meet and greet gallerists and artists from all over the US. Elevator Exhibitions will be producing Convention Center group show and its opening will kick off the Canadian celebration.
*
Get in at ground level.*This opportunity is an edge of the wedge to get into the fine art photography world. Get noticed by museum curators, gallerists, photo collectors. Learn the ropes, and help jump start your fine art photography sales.
*
Elevator*Exhibitions*are scheduled to*travel onto additional photography festivals, we are looking for host citys to tap into our project, as well hope to have new photographers; Canadian, Mexican, American, as we broaden the Elevator Exhibition Circuit over the next three to four years.

Toronto is home to the largest photography festival in the world with its CONTACTPHOTO festival. This has put Canadian photography, and its artists, on a world stage. With all that buzz, we feel the time is right to promote Canadian work in the US as we*are seen to be the fine art photographers to watch.

Join the invasion. Meet us at this amazing event in Louisville.

Final update before the openings this weekend.

For those who have gallery representation or art groups that may be interested in being invaded by Elevator Exhibitons, we are actively looking for other cities .
We have interest in any location internationally, it takes time to pull one of these events off but it is of huge interest to us to meet other like minded groups.

For Immediate Release
October 17, 2011 Toronto
A Canadians Invasion
As part of Louisvilles Photo Biennial 2011, the photographic works
of over 30 Canadian photographers will be exhibited in Louisville this
weekend. This impressive collection of more than 300 images will be on
display at multiple galleries at The Mellwood Art Center, as well as
Kaviar Forge & Gallery, and Architype Gallery.
This artistic incursion has been developed and executed by
Elevator Exhibitions of Toronto. Elevator is a fine art producer of
photographic printing and finishing. Working with artists all over the
world, Elevator completes hundreds of gallery-quality exhibitions each
year.
By facilitating this invasion we help our clients expand their reach into
other markets, says one of Elevators principals, photographer Kevin
Viner. We hope that this is the first of many such events that we will
organize in the US and beyond.
The shows start on Frankfort Ave., on Saturday October 22nd at 1:30 pm
with two openings, and then move to Mellwood on Saturday evening at
5:30 pm for 10 openings including The Best of Canada group show at
Studio 181. The event wraps up on Sunday October 23rd with a brief
lecture series at 11:30 am at Mellwood. World-class photographers
