SUMMARY:Sarah Wilson - Blind Prom Opening -  TONIGHT!
DESCRIPTION:Foley Gallery is pleased to present Sarah Wilson \"Blind P
 rom,\" andColby Katz \"Beauty Pageants,\"two concurrent exhibitions of
  documentary photography and formal portraiture.\n\nFor the students a
 t the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, prom night is 
 a momentous occasion. Since the spring season of 2006, Sarah Wilson ha
 s offered her professional services as the prom photographer for TSBVI
 . She marks, \"From the moment the girls began trying on their dresses
  in the dorm rooms, till the last dance at midnight, I was there takin
 g pictures, fully immersed in a familiar teenage excitement and energy
 . For many of the kids this was the most formal event they had ever at
 tended. It was Prom, and it was a big deal.\"\n\nSarah Wilson was intr
 oduced to the blind community in 2005 when she began working as a stil
 ls photographer and field producer on the PBS-funded film, The Eyes of
  Me, a documentary about four students attending the Texas School for 
 the Blind in Austin, Texas. Springing from her immersion into this fil
 m's new company, Wilson's own series, \"Blind Prom,\" focuses on an Am
 erican right of passage, the high school prom. Throughout the night sh
 e captures candid moments of the prom attendees, while producing their
  formal portraits. These rich, full-color images express the joy and s
 pirit of, the thrill and intensity for a group of marginalized teens p
 articipating in the universal experience of attending a formal prom.\n
 \nSarah Wilson received her degree in photography from New York Univer
 sity. She was awarded the 2008 PhotoNOLA Review Prize from The New Orl
 eans Photo Alliance for \"Blind Prom.\" Her personal projects have bee
