Upcoming events for APP
DAY 1 - Click! Academy Masterclass: The Fine Art of Digital Printmaking
We are thrilled to host the first Click! Academy workshop of 2025!
Join us for 2-days of immersion into the fine art of digital printmaking. Led by Eric Joseph from Freestyle Photo & Imaging, this will be more than just a how-to class. It will be a deep dive into the digital print as a unique art form in which the choice of paper makes the difference between an ordinary photo and an extraodinary work of art.
The workshop will cover all of the technical jargon and vocabulary of inkjet papers and introduce you to the full range of inkjet media available on the market from standard Resin Coated Photograde papers up to handmade Japanese Washi papers.
The course emphasizes the creative benefits of understanding and controlling your digital print results not through abstract conversation, but hands-on printmaking sessions.
Topics covered Day 1 will include proper camera settings, color management, monitor and printer calibration, what type of printer to use and why, downloading and applying ICC profiles, preparing files for printing and everything else you ever wanted to know about digital printing.
Because of the hands-on nature of this class enrollment is limited to 10 students.

Movie Night
Join us Thursday January 16th for our screening of ‘Don’t Blink: Robert Frank’.
One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Don’t Blink is a documentary about Robert Frank, the legendary photographer and filmmaker behind the seminal book The Americans and landmark films like Pull My Daisy (with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg) and C***sucker Blues (with the Rolling Stones).
Directed by his longtime editor Laura Israel, the film is an exuberant and fascinating journey into the images and words of an iconoclastic artist, a Swiss-born man who reinvented himself the American way, and was still standing on ground of his own making when the film was released at the age of 90. The soundtrack features Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, White Stripes, Yo La Tengo, Tom Waits, and more.
Robert Frank revolutionized photography and independent film. He documented the Beats, Welsh coal miners, Peruvian Indians, London bankers, and the Americans. This is the bumpy ride, revealed with unblinking honesty by the reclusive artist himself.
This event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30pm and the movie will begin at 7:00pm. If time allows, there will be discussion afterward.
Online Photo Critique Meeting

Movie Night
This months film will be “What Remains: The Life and Work of Sally Mann”.
In “What Remains”, director Steven Cantor follows the creation of Mann’s same-named series on the myriad aspects of death and decay. Spanning five years, “What Remains” contains unbridled access to the many stages of Mann’s work, and is a rare glimpse of an elegant and brilliant artist.
Check out the trailer here.
