If you are a photographer or artist in search of galleries, publications, and the like where you can showcase your work, I present a fairly regular column called “Opportunity Weekend.” The idea being these opportunities are posted over the weekend for you, so that you can send your work out and into the hands of folks looking for new work. I’ve had a few newcomers to the blog recently so I thought it best to explain things again, in case you were not following all along. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here are some opportunities for you this weekend:
