Festival 2013 - Ten years in the making
The Auckland Festival of Photography 2013, our 10th annual Festival, dates are 30 May to 21 June 2013.
If you want to present your own work or you are a dealer with artist's work to show in the 2013 Festival see here for how to take part. The Festival Trust is planning an expanded Talking Culture Symposium weekend, Sunday Series and Projections. Alongside the next recipient of the Annual Fine Arts Commission in 2013 will be a selection of local artists exhibitions and international artists to enjoy. The Fringe programme will continue the Festival's 10 year history of open access across a range of photographic styles, genres, practices and venues. And then there is our annual Nikon Auckland Photo Day in June. And not forgetting our annual circuit night. Festival Tuesday now in it's fifth year and is the original and longest running, late night gallery circuit in the Auckland region. So all your favourite events alongside a brand new line up of top quality photography.
Since the Festival began in 2004 over 350 exhibitions featuring thousands of photographers - past programmes here for a who's who of Auckland and New Zealand artists - have been displayed across the region. This Festival has grown year on year and is now part of an exclusive international group of partner Festivals in Sydney, Queensland, Ballarat VIC, Fremantle WA, Angkor in Cambodia and Pingyao in China, which puts Auckland and our artists in the Festival on the Asia Pacific map.
Auckland Photo Blog - October - Diwali theme
All Went Well by William Liang
The Photo of the Month for October was by William Liang - All Went Well. It was a difficult choice as many of you sent in great photographs which got lots of appreciation through our star rating system though alas this was not a People's Choice month! So it's William's black and white winner that provides us with a moment of excitement and enjoyment for some young performers after being on stage. Well done William.Through October our Diwali theme for your photography saw a 120% increase in visitors to the blog, with a total of 22000+ page views to end of the month. Overall entries were also up since the last Diwali theme started the Auckpland Photo Blog in 2006, see some wonderful photographs of the annual Indian community festivities of Diwali across the Auckland region. Thanks to Asia NZ Foundation.
