The calendar year of 2018 marks the 10 year anniversary of the Midwest Center for Photography. In 2008, I made the decision to expand my educational reach from the University to the gallery setting through the curatorial vision of founding and directing the Midwest Center for Photography in Wichita, Kansas.

The dual impetus for creating a gallery space comes from both my strong belief in supporting the art careers of photographers, and in creating a broader awareness and appreciation of photography in the community and the Midwest region by promoting a creative discourse and an educational understanding of contemporary photography. And in doing so, I have identified and fostered the careers of numerous emerging photographers who have produced fresh and deeply insightful photographic work.

During this 10 year period, the Midwest Center for Photography has generously provided exhibition opportunities in a brick and mortar commercial gallery venue for emerging and nationally recognized mid-career artists, as well as featured online sales. Various calls for entries and concept-based exhibitions have been presented ranging from exhibitions encompassing ideas such as photographic interpretations of memory as fragment, the visual imprint of domesticity, features of landscape, and the aesthetic role of photographic processes. Just to name a few of the multitude that have been artfully and logistically curated at the Midwest Center for Photography.

By uniting these 100 featured photographers and various photographic works that I have identified as outstanding and noteworthy throughout the 10 years of exhibitions at the Midwest Center for Photography, I wish to share this collective vision with the larger online audience in this Ten Years of Photographs Online Exhibition. A retrospective exhibition catalogue is produced and available in January, highlighting the distinct curatiorial voice that captures a new collective aesthetic that is uniquely my Midwestern take on America.
