Join the New York Chapter of ARLIS/NA for a visit to Andrew French's studio in Manhattan. Andrew French was born in Rockford, Illinois, and fell in love with photography as a young teenager where he spent most of his days in the dark room or in section 779 at the local library, the photography section. Soon after graduating from Eastern Illinois University with a degree in Elementary and Special Education, he moved to New York City with a duffel bag, a banjo and a camera bag. He worked as an assistant to over 70 photographers including Ilse Bing, Ruth Orkin and Mary Ellen Mark. His work has been recognized with awards from the Society of Publication Designers, Photo District News and Polaroid. He is also on the faculty at the International Center of Photography and New York University and teaches private photography workshops at his north light studio in Union Square that has been described as “Paris in New York.”
This studio visit will be capped at 10 participants and registration is limited to members of ARLIS/NA's New York Chapter.
If you have any questions about the tour, feel free to reach out to Joey Vincennie, Programming Coordinator at vincennie@frick.org.
