2011 FESTIVAL GUIDE ACPinfo.org Welcome to the Atlanta Celebrates Photography Festival 2011, our 13th year of celebrating photography across the Metro-Atlanta area!
During the ACP festival, Atlanta will be transformed by photography. Hundreds of venues, from your favorite museum to your local coffee- shop, will be infused with the creative efforts of local photographers to internationally-known artists; you might even see snapshots from your Atlanta friends and neighbors! From inspiration to education, ACP 2011 delivers the best in photography, from enlightening exhibitions at participating galleries, to provocative public art installations on the streets of Atlanta.
To get the most out of the Festival, grab a highlighter and spend a few minutes discovering your favorites in the Festival Guide. Highlight events that look interesting to you, then indicate your favorites on the calendar at the front of the guide (there is also an index of artists and venues to assist your search for a particular event). Then you’ll have an easy schedule that can guide your month-long photography experience!
With so much to choose from, we know it can be a bit overwhelming! There are far too many events and exhibitions for one person to attend, so don’t get discouraged. There’s something for everyone; try starting with ACP’s featured events (pgs 14 - 21) and join us as we explore where photography meets contemporary art and culture. We look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks, and again, we’d love to hear about your Festival experience. Let us know, by sending an email to: [email protected]

We continue to be amazed by the enthusiasm, generosity and creativity of our supporters; a community that with each passing year represents a wide cross-section of photography-lovers, from age 8, to 80!
We’re grateful to you, for your curiosity and interest, to our Board and Advisors for their direction, to our volunteers for their patience and flexibility, to our participants for their creativity and inspiration, and to our audience, for their willingness to be amazed. You all comprise the cultural fabric that sustains not just ACP, but Atlanta as a cultural center, and we thank you all! We are also thrilled for the continued sponsorship of Bank of America. Everywhere you look, Bank of America is working hard to support Atlanta’s cultural institutions. They believe in making Atlanta a better place through the arts.
