Photographers Seek a Lift With a Pop-Up Gallery
The headline is from a New York Times article on another collective that is using a storefront as a pop-up gallery, this time in Chicago.
"Made up of 30 local shooters, the collective grew from an informal club whose five members met monthly in local diners to lament the state of their craft."
“Ours is a dying trade as digital and video take over,” says Paul Natkin, who spent nearly three decades photographing Chicago’s music scene. Mr. Natkin said he believed that the collective would help keep photography in the public eye through further exhibits, salons and lectures. –Lori Rotneberk

Art in Storefronts initiative in San Francisco
The New York Times has covered the idea of artists using storefronts throughout the year. Here is a recent article.
An excerpt from the piece,
"No one likes empty storefronts; they make streets look like gap-toothed smiles. Now that San Francisco’s business districts are feeling the economic pinch, city officials, like dentists, have been scouting for ways to fix the cavities. Whether business picks up next year remains to be seen, but in the meantime, civic leaders and neighborhood associations have turned to artists for a temporary solution." –Chloe Veltman
