Colvin Run Mill Maple Syrup Boil Down 2012

I'm finally getting around to scanning and editing some of the negatives I shot during the school year. This one's from February, at Colvin Run Mill in Great Falls, VA.

First Friday December

I have work in three exhibitions that open tonight...

Banter: A Dialogue

Curating for a Cause, and L2 Lounge, and Dreams for Kids are pleased to present Banter: A Dialogue, an exhibition and art auction to benefit D.C. non-profit, Dreams for Kids. Banter will feature over twenty artists of a variety of mediums. The show is intended to be a dynamic conversation between the works from an exceptional group of artists. Artwork was jury-selected from submissions from an international open call for art. The exhibiting artists’ work will be shown December 3rd through the 6th at L2 Lounge, an exclusive nightclub in Georgetown. The opening reception will include live music by ONE BIG WOO between 7 and 8 PM, a silent and live auction of exhibited works at 8 PM, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Dreams for Kids, an organization that Curating for a Cause and L2 Lounge are proud to support.

Produce: Full Success

Last week I hosted a closing reception for produce: photographs by Christin Boggs at Great Falls Library. There was a great turnout, considering it occurred at a time when many are away on vacation. It was so great to catch up with longtime friends and to meet new people. Thank you to everyone who came out!

The reception included some local food dishes. Hollin Farms of Delaplane, Virginia, offered delicious peaches, at a discounted price. Potomac Vegetable Farms of Vienna, Virginia, donated a quart of mouth watering 'Juliet' grape tomatoes. I also prepared several dishes, including Baba Ganoush, Chocolate Beet Cake (substituting margarine with applesauce and all-purpose flour with rice flour), and Barbara Kingsolver's Summer Potato Salad, using vegetables grown either in Rochester, New York or the Washington D.C. area. My mom also made a fabulous spinach quiche, using a recipe from The 10 Things You Need to Eat. Compostable tableware came from Sustainable Party, at a discounted price.

Produce: Closing Reception

The closing reception for "produce: photographs by Christin Boggs at the Great Falls Library" is a week from today: Thursday, August 26, 7-9 PM. Come on out to see what I've been up to in grad school. Bring a dish that features a local food product, potluck style. A few local farmers will be contributing food as well: Hollin Farms and Potomac Vegetable Farms. I hope to see you there!
