Fall/Winter at In-Sight:
7th Annual Silent Auction, New Classes

In-Sight began the fall session of our 14th year with a flourish. At the start of our annual auction, we proudly announced a unique quality to our current fundraising: due to a generous $10,000 matching challenge grant for scholarship funds from the Thomas Thompson Trust, every dollar raised over the next two years will count as two dollars in support of In-Sight’s ongoing efforts to offer photography classes to all youth. This benefit extends beyond our Silent Auction & Exhibit to any personal or business donation made to In-Sight, so your support of the creativity of local youth will now mean more than ever!

As it has for the past six years, In-Sight’s fall began with our 7th Annual Silent Auction and Exhibit, held next door to us at the Vermont Center for Photography at 49 Flat St, featuring prints from such local favorites as Chris Triebert, Bob George, Lynne Weinstein, John Willis, Evie Lovett, Eric Slayton, Meridel Rubenstein, and Paul Taylor, as well as many other nationally and internationally renowned photographers such as the Starn twins. The Auction ran for the month of October, bringing in over $9,000 for our program. In-Sight wishes to thank the Crosby and Dunham-Mason Foundation for underwriting the Auction, and Light Impressions, Inc for their donation of print bags.

2006 looks set to be an exciting year as we prepare to start up the Spring Session. Students can register for Spring Classes at In-Sight during our Open House on Sunday, January 29 from 1-3 PM. Please note that schedules for our Spring Session are not available at this time. We will be updating our website with class details as we are able to provide more information. As always, we will be offering Introduction to B&W Photography and Intermediate/Advanced Photography. This spring, we are launching two new classes: a Parent/ Child class, and a class for teens coping with loss. In addition, we plan to offer a class in digital photography and Photoshop, and we will be running our class at the Brattleboro Retreat again this spring.
