The Historical Significance: Honoring Westport’s Photographic Legacy
While the marketplace is a shopping event, it also serves as the launchpad for MoCA CT’s broader vision to reinvigorate the legacy of the Famous Photographers School—a pioneering institution co-founded in 1948 by Westport photographer Albert Dorne and the iconic Norman Rockwell. The school was instrumental in elevating photography from a commercial craft to a respected fine art medium, thanks to the contributions of renowned photographers like Richard Avedon and Irving Penn.
For art lovers, collectors, and those simply looking to find the perfect piece for their space, The Photography Fine Art Fair offers a unique opportunity to shop for exclusive artworks in an intimate and engaging environment. Have your children drop into the classes for a photography-oriented art project both days of the fair, with a suggested donation.
