Photography Business Institute Hosts Art Showcase in Illinois

The Photography Business Institute held a distinguished national art show during its Immersion event, showcasing the exceptional work of its Peak Performance Coaching students. The event took place at the historic Dana-Thomas House, a premier example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s early Prairie-style houses and one of his most complete and best-preserved works.

In an exclusive after-hours event, the Photography Business Institute reserved the entire Dana-Thomas House, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to photograph inside this architectural gem. Guests enjoyed catered hors d’oeuvres served in the breakfast nook and the tranquil ambiance of the courtyard garden, adorned with blooming peonies and a tent for relaxing under.

A representative from White House Custom Color, the photography business mentor’s photo lab partner, was present to showcase artwork samples and engage with attendees. The gallery reception room featured photographs from nine international photographers, all participants in the Simply Me campaign. Each photographer captured the essence of a child or tween in a simple yet striking black-and-white square format with bold, fun, or emotive expressions. The photographs, elegantly presented on easels with artist-signed mats, added a touch of sophistication to the evening.

A jazz quartet provided a backdrop as attendees mingled and explored the historic home. Historians throughout the house offered insights into the rich history of Susan Lawrence Dana, Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Dana-Thomas House itself, enriching the experience with their knowledge.

Sarah Petty, founder of the Photography Business Institute and photography business coach, expressed her excitement about the event: “This was an unforgettable evening that perfectly blended art, history, and community. Our Peak Performance coaching members’ work was displayed in one of the most iconic settings, allowing them to share their talent with a broader audience. We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to provide such a unique experience for our photographers and guests.”

The event exemplified the Institute’s commitment to fostering artistic growth and providing exceptional opportunities to the individual members they coach. By showcasing their work in a setting as distinguished as the Dana-Thomas House, the Photography Business Institute continues to elevate the standards of boutique photography and support the professional development of the individual members.
