October 24, 2007 - Taft’s advanced photography class and independent photography project students joined several hundred artists at the 10th annual City-Wide Open Studios exhibition in New Haven.

More than 300 people visited the exhibit, including Taft alumni, Choate students, Suffield Academy faculty, and art students from SCSU. "The reviews were very positive," says Taft's photography teacher Yee-Fun Yin. "Taft students gallery-sat on Sunday and met with many visitors to talk about their work. They also met other exhibiting artists and learned about their work. The show closed Sunday evening on a high note when a private collector from New York City bought two pictures."

The exhibiting Taft photographers:

Sarah Sullivan
Amy Brownstein
Shane Sanderson
Catie Birmingham
Tierney Dodge
Hillary Hall
Claire Novak
Barbara Romaine
Erik Roomet
Julian Siegelmann

Over the past ten years, CWOS has drawn thousands of visitors to explore New Haven’s neighborhoods while discovering artists, revamping perceptions of the city.

Over three weekends, visitors can observe painters at work in Erector Square, hop on a bike tour around Individual Studios, and see site-specific installations created for the Alternative Space. A month-long central exhibition at Artspace features one work by every participant.

Complete details and an official Map of the Arts with all locations are available at Artspace and in the New Haven Advocate in October.
