Chuck Close may find this year’s Armory Show “dull and ordinary,” but the great thing about Armory Week in New York is the plethora of art events happening all over the city!! Right this very second. One more for the agenda is 31 Women in Art Photography, curated by crack team Charlotte Cotton and Jon Feinstein in conjunction with Humble Arts Foundation and Affirmation Arts. This is the second edition of the female-friendly group show, produced to coincide with Women’s History Month and culled from a “vast number” of open-call entries. Eclectic in subject matter, the show’s commonality is the label of emerging talent, which in this case means pearls, not swine.

The show also includes contemporary vanitas set-ups by Justine Reyes, intimate scenes which put an empathetic spin on photojournalism by Erika Larsen, hilarious slick celeb portraits by Emily Shur, and more process oriented work by Jessica Eaton.
The 31 Women in Art Photography exhibition is on view Saturday, March 6 – Saturday, April 10, 2010 at Affirmation Arts (523 West 37th Street, Manhattan).
