CU Art Alumnus, Gene Ellenberg, Awarded Scholarship to Attend LOOK3 Education Week in Charlottesville, VA

 Mother by Gene Ellenberg

Gene Ellenberg, Clemson University alumnus (BFA, Art, photography emphasis, 2012), received a scholarship to attend LOOK3 Education Week.  In order to receive the scholarship, he had to submit for review a portfolio of  photographic work as well as a number of written essays.   With generous support from Canon U.S.A. and Leica Camera, LOOK3 was able to offer 12 full scholarships (valued at $795) to the photographers whose proposals best reflect a strong need for the type of professional development that Education Week offers.

"The heart of LOOK3’s mission is to connect and inspire. In their sixth year, they have re-imagined and restructured their educational program so that it’s unlike any other learning environment available.  Education Week is comprised of professional and creative courses, plus three 20-minute portfolio reviews or one 1-hour editing session."

LOOK3 Education Week in Charlottesville, VA will take place June 11 - 15, 2013. Gene will be attending courses and having one-on-one reviews with industry professionals such as Mary Virginia Swanson, Ann Wilkes Tucker, Alexia Dilworth, Denise Wolff, and many more. Not to mention that the conference itself will feature talks by Gregory Crewdson, Carrie Mae Weems, and Richard Misrach...to name but a few.
