Photographic images are central in
our culture. The presence and impact of
photography is evident in contemporary
art practice, as can be seen by the quality
and volume of photography exhibited in
galleries and museums, as well as in new
web-based art forums. The level of technical
and conceptual sophistication in the photography
and digital imaging programs at Tyler exposes
the student to many career opportunities.
Dear Photography Area Tyler Alumni,
It is an exciting and busy time for us at
Tyler! The move to the new building on
Temple’s Main Campus is upon us, and with it
comes the promise of a new era for the
future of the school. After so many years of
planning for this move, we finally have
occupancy of the new facility.
We want to mark this momentous time with a
final celebratory event, a postcard
exhibition and a closing reception, that
says goodbye to our Elkins Park Campus and
hello to the new Tyler.
We invite you to be a part of this
exhibition by sending a postcard sized image
of your work, to be received no later than
December 1, 2008. These postcard
images will be for sale at a set price of
$25.00 during the closing on Friday,
December 12, 2008, first come first
choice. At 8 pm, you can take any image
which you purchase during the reception off
of the wall to add to your art collection.
All proceeds from the sale of work will be
donated to the Photography area and its new
space. Please rsvp if you will be able to
attend on the 12th.

Thank you for your ongoing support of Tyler
and specifically the Photography area! We
are proud of our graduates and their many
achievements. We look forward to seeing you
one last time on Tyler’s campus on December
12, 6pm.
Sincerely,
Martha Madigan
