Established in 1862, after informal meetings beginning in 1860, The Photographic Society of Philadelphia, the oldest continuously active photographic society in the United States, marks its 150th anniversary with a major exhibition opening on November 4th, 2012 at The Plastic Club Galleries on the Avenue of the Artists in Center City Philadelphia.

The juried exhibition, which will be open Sundays November 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th from 1:00 – 5:00pm and Tuesday evening November 20th from 6:00 – 9:00pm, can be experienced at The Plastic Club, 247 Camac Street, Philadelphia, PA.

Presenters include many of the outstanding ninety-six members of PSoP – some who have shown their work in galleries throughout the US, Europe and Philadelphia.  The exhibition was juried by a panel of three distinguished members of the photographic community – Kyle CassidyJJ Tiziou and Martin McNamara. The jurors used a value point system on a spreadsheet, each juror scored every photograph and the totals were tallied to decide the awards. The award system was designed and implemented by Karen Schlechter, other members of the jury committee includedDoN Brewer and Paul Olsen. Normally The Photographic Society of Philadelphia does not give awards instead the mission is to share knowledge but since this show is such an historic event, awards were deemed appropriate and celebratory.
