Tucson: MVS to Present Lecture on Ansel Adams at the CCP

Center for Creative Photography
Ansel Adams: Advocate for American Photography
CCP Auditorium, free and open to the public.

MVS worked closely with Ansel Adams during her tenure as director of education at The Friends of Photography (1980-1984), an organization that Adams co-founded and served as Chair of the Board of Directors until his death in 1984. She will discuss Adams’s life-long contributions to the broad acceptance of photography as an art form and will chart his passion for sharing his love of the medium throughout his career. Highlights will include Adams’s role in establishing a permanent Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art and as teacher and mentor to many of today’s most respected photographers.

This lecture is being presented in conjunction with the exhibition Ansel Adams: The View From Here, on view through March 4, 2012.
