LOOK3 GOODBYE
January 5, 2018
Dear Friends,
Please note that the LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph will cease operations this month. While our event was beloved by many in Charlottesville and in the international photography community, we unfortunately do not have the financial resources to continue.
We are eternally grateful to our featured artists for sharing their talents and inspiring us to look at the world in new ways. And we certainly could not have existed for the past 10 years without the support of our sponsors, donors, attendees, and volunteers. We wish you all much success in your future endeavors and hope our paths cross again soon.
Sincerely,
The LOOK3 Festival Governing Board
