FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  Professional Women Photographers’ PRESS RELEASE

Professional Women Photographers

& MH Art & Framing Gallery Present

“Americana€ – A Photography Exhibit

January 15, 2010 New York, NY: Americana! Say the word and iconic images

spring to mind – the American flag, apple pie, the hometown team in summer.

MH Art & Framing Gallery in conjunction with PWP (Professional Women

Photographers) presents an exhibition of photography that takes a fresh look at

the American image in a time of globalization and multiculturalism within and

outside our borders.

Members of PWP, an organization of nearly 200 photojournalists, fine arts and

commercial photographers, explore their personal vision of Americana. From

the nostalgic to the elegiac, political commentary to the deeply personal,

documentary to abstract, a rich mosaic emerges. Hung salon style to

accommodate a large number of images, this exhibition opens a visual

dialogue on the view of America from these photographers.

To mark the opening of “Americana€ MH Art & Framing Gallery and PWP invite

the press and public to a reception in the gallery on Saturday evening, April 17,

2010 from 6 – 9 PM, 9 West 20th St. (between 5th and 6th Aves.),

212.242.1252.

The exhibition will be on view April 17 – May 22, 2010. Hours are Monday -

Friday,10 AM – 7 PM and Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM.
