“KNOWN”
Fundraiser For The Daylesford Foto Biennale.
As photography experiences an unprecedented boom the world over and people embrace it as the art form of the masses, the Daylesford Foto Biennale (DFB07) has positioned itself as one of Australia’s premier photographic festivals.
However, running a festival is no easy matter and the difficulties of obtaining government and corporate sponsorships is as difficult as ever.
So, in a fundraiser to support the DFB07, some of Australia’s finest portrait photographers have donated images of famous people to be auctioned this Saturday 4th August at 2
pm.
“Known”, showcases, not only celebrity, but notoriety, fame, political greatness, sporting prowess and genius. From Winston Churchill to Rove McManus, to music legends, BB King, The Police and Mick Jagger. Also featured will be a classic image by John Casamento, of Rock and Roller, Chubby Checker doing “The Twist” at Festival Hall in 1962.
Photographer and Gallery owner, David Johns will be hosting the fundraising event for the Biennale at David ohns Gallery, 15A Railway Place, Fairfield, this Saturday 4th August at 2 pm. Entry is from Gillies St. (Mel 30 K11).
Refreshments will be available.
Come along, meet some of the participating photographers and make a bid on some classic images, that will look great on your wall for years to come.
