As the 2021 Louisville Photo Biennial has now drawn to a close, I want to thank each and every one of you for your help, creativity, and passionate participation in our festival. 

We had 53 venues, with a rich variety of works from the historic to the most contemporary. Our participants included our local creatives, and photographic artists from across our country and abroad. 

We enjoyed great publicity from the Courier-Journal, LEO Weekly, Louisville Public Media, News and Tribune, Today’s Woman, Manual Redeye, and Kentucky Monthly. And our beautiful Program Guide and website provided the essential information that helped people visit so many of our exhibits. 

In 2021, we reached a critical mass in recognition, fueled by our increasing sophistication and quality of our shows, and the concerted social media and publicity efforts from our venues and our staff. These areas are ones we plan to expand, along with greater media presence in 2023. 

All of this has been made possible by your active participation in this amazing cooperative effort. And of course, we owe so much to the dedicated work of Sam Miller, whose coordination skills and dedication are the backbone of the LPB, and the active commitment of our Board members, our staff and volunteers. We also could not have done this without the financial support of our corporate sponsors, and the generous donations of all the individuals who have helped us with their funding, their attendance, and enthusiasm. 

Thank you all for making the Louisville Photo Biennial a continuing success. 

All the best, Paul R. Paletti, Jr.
