A seven-month touring exhibit and ecmunson’s Studio By Design’s 5th annual show registered with the renowned CONTACT Photography Festival, now in its 30th year.

Showing at VAB’s Studio Gallery from June 27 and hangs there through September 12.

It will hang in October at the Shelburne Town Hall Gallery moving in November to the Café Gallery in Georgetown.

The History of Photography, From Smoke ‘n Mirrors, and Future of Photography, to Selfies & Beyond, are three posters that bookend this exhibit. The photography hung between these educational components, is largely a retrospective from ecmunson’s past CONTACT shows. Colleen Dee, VAB’s Vice President has hung and curated the 2026 show plus several of the other exhibits from 2022 onwards. All the exhibitors are established with arts practices that include international exhibits, work in juried exhibitions, solo shows, memberships in professional societies and arts groups, and collectors from the global community. The genres range from formal studio work with portraiture, to the more candid captures of people in communities or their own settings, urban scenes, landscape, plus the precursor to darkroom work, cyanotype printing. The various printing media/strata used includes photographic prints with archival pigmented inks, polished aluminum, and watercolour art paper.
