School of the Museum of Fine Arts prof Jim Dow came to support his students at the 350+ packed opening for the 2008 PRC Student Exhibition, originally uploaded by PRCBoston. 

Did you know? All of our installation slides (well, now digital images) of our exhibitions are taken by THE Jim Dow? Since the PRC became a gallery in 1985, the amazing Jim Dow has been volunteering his time and film to take documents of all of our exhibitions. As a side bar,the Center for American Places just published his book, Marking the Land, featuring over two decades of his photographs from North Dakota.  (It was just named one of the best books of 2007 by American Photo Magazine.)

Here is Jim, pictured with Education Manager, Michael Christiano. Jim is legendary for his history of photography class given at SMFA and Harvard and is constantly going to NYC to photograph gallery shows for his inspiring lectures.  Jim and I have been giving an annual seminar on demystifying the jurying process dubbed “Answering the call (for entry).”  Usually given before the deadline for our juried show in January or early February, this is a great opportunity to hone your entry and see what happens after you send in your submission.  You can read more about this annual program here.  See you next year! - Leslie
