A blurb from the AMoA web site:

To celebrate this retrospective of his photography, artist William Christenberry will discuss his work in a conversational lecture with noted critic Andy Grundberg. One of the leading critics and authors on contemporary photography, Grundberg has written for The New York Times, Art in America, Afterimage, and many other publications, as well as being a contributing author for the new catalogue William Christenberry. Grundberg and Christenberry are both professors at the Corcoran College of Art and Design. A book signing and reception will follow the lecture.

Ah, the traditional first post. We will use this space as a place to post information about upcoming events for the Photo Awesome Club.
