The Dirty Lights Collective has assembled compelling film directors, cinematographers, musicians, comedians, writers, and photographers. “We all work in films, commercials, or as professional photographers, so the power of the image is something that unites us all,” said Paul Solet of his co-curators. “We’re always turning each other on to our favorite work by our friends around town,” adds Piper Ferguson. “We thought it would be exciting to put together an event with people that we admire, both as friends and artists.”
A portion of the proceeds will benefit Pablove Shutterbugs, a program of the Pablove Foundation that teaches children living with cancer to develop their own creative voice through the art of photography.
