Photography Exhibit Opens at Ventulett Gallery

Atlanta photographer, author, and patron of the arts Lucinda Weil Bunnen brings her special view of the world to Holy Innocents’ Ventulett Gallery on Thursday, April 23. The public is invited to a reception with refreshments from 6–8 p.m.

In this one exhibition, Bunnen will share works from two of her collections: “2010 Patzcuaro, Mexico” and “2012 Havana, Cuba.”

Bunnen is known in the Atlanta area, particularly, for The Lucinda Weil Bunnen Photography Gallery, which opened at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art last year. Her works have been on display at the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, and The Smithsonian. And her collections have also been shown in national, international, and regional juried shows such as: “Atlanta Artists in Buenos Aires” in Argentina; “Atlanta in France” in Toulouse, France; and “New Southern Photography: Between Myth and Reality” at the Burden Gallery in New York City.

Bunnen has been interviewed on National Public Radio and the “Oprah Winfrey Show,” and has author credits on four books: Movers and Shakers in Georgia, Scoring in Heaven, Gravestones and Cemetery Art in The American Sunbelt States, and ALASKA Trails Tales and Eccentric Detours.

The YMCA of Greater Atlanta will honor Bunnen next month with a 2015 Academy of Women Achievers award. The Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center presented the artist, author, and photographer with a Nexus Award in 2013.

All artworks on display at the Ventulett Gallery exhibit will be available for purchase. Contact Carol Johns at cjohns@holyinnocents.org.

The gallery is located at 805 Mt. Vernon Hwy. N.W., Atlanta, GA 30327.
