John Bennett (Art and Design) was selected as a professional reviewer for Portland Photo Month. In that role, he is giving portfolio critiques of Northwest photographers for Photolucida, a nonprofit organization that, every other April, hosts an international set of photographers and reviewers in Portland for a five-day celebration of photography that includes lectures, workshops and exhibitions. Reviewers are selected for their experience, involvement and commitment to advancing the work of emerging and mid-career artists. By providing a venue for in-depth, informed, and supportive dialogue between photographers, gallery owners, curators, publishers, editors, and consultants, Photolucida promotes the culture of photography locally, nationally and internationally.
