teamFOTO Does T/F

Anyone walking past Shakespeare’s Pizza this weekend must have seen it: a large white trailer sitting in the parking lot adorned with teamFOTO logos along the side. teamFOTO, an idea started by MU photography students in 2002, is an organization that tries to inspire art by creating art. Initially, the idea was to create a traveling art show in the back of a U-Haul to take to a Kansas City First Friday, but soon after, it died off, until this year.
The 25 photos on display were taken by MU art students. The subject matter of the photos ranged from landscapes to nudes, polariods and prints, and even a few naughty things. All photos were on sale and prices ranged from $25-$300
Another aspect of teamFOTO, is “Art Attack.” “Art Attack” is a program designed to bring creativity and artistic expression in to small communities by sharing work with high school and grade school students. Last semester, teamFOTO set up shop at a Fulton high school art class and taught the students how to use a pinhole camera. After having the students go out and take photos, teamFOTO selected the best shots and will display them at Bek’s, a local restaurant in Fulton.
