The Photo Biennial has been around since 1999. What was once a dream by former Artemisia owner Erin Devine was almost lost until Paul Paletti stepped in and took the helm. Now despite the setbacks of the pandemic, Paletti has found a way to steer the Biennial forward with the cooperation of a lot of people and organizations. This year, the Biennial kicked off on Sept. 9 and runs through Nov. 6. Here is a list of the remaining events.
