Magenta was created to organize promotional opportunities for artists, in an international context, through circulated exhibitions and publications. Projects mounted by Magenta are supported by credible international media coverage and critical reviews in all mainstream-media formats (radio, television and print). Magenta works with respected individuals and international organizations to help increase recognition for artists while uniting the global photography community.

Through its successful emerging photographers program, Flash Forward, Magenta’s expansion into Boston has allowed the organization to set a standard for community collaboration while developing both a domestic and international presence vital to the success of artists. Magenta’s diversification and growth will continue through engaging programming slated for Pittsburgh and the United Kingdom.

THE FENCE

A Summer Long Special Boston Outdoor Exhibition

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway

now to Sept 1, 2013

United Photo Industries, Photo District News (PDN), Brooklyn Bridge Park & Flash Forward Festival have joined forces to curate and produce THE FENCE - the annual summer-long outdoor photo exhibition that in its first year, drew more than 1 million visitors during its 10 week run at Brooklyn Bridge Park in 2012.

The work featured on THE FENCE in 2012 exceeded every expectation, captivating audiences of all ages, and this year THE FENCE has expanded! In addition to our 1000ft long photographic installation on display in Brooklyn Bridge Park, we partnered with Boston's Flash Forward Festival, in producing a special curated version of THE FENCE, now displayed along the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. Photographers of all levels were invited to submit their best image series that capture the essence of "community" and fit into one more of the competition categories: Home, Streets, People, Creatures, Play.
