As we reported earlier, the unveiling of this year’s 1,000 foot long “Photoville Fence” will take place this month; we now know it’s this Thursday, June 13, starting at 6:00 p.m. It’s a free party with refreshments and ice cream from Ample Hills Creamery, who operate the concession at Pier 5. There’s more information here.
The Fence serves as a preview for the Photoville Pop-Up Village, an exhibit of photography that this year will be located on Pier 5. The Pop-Up Village, which last year was in place from June 22 to July 1 (prompting complaints about heat in the modified shipping containers that serve as galleries; see comments on the linked post), has wisely been scheduled for September 19-29 this year, when–we hope!–the weather may be less oppressive.
