DARKROOM: MoCP

The Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago (MoCP) held DARKROOM, their annual benefit auction at Venue SIX10, bringing in nearly $200,000 to support the museum. Highlights of the evening included a VIP hour conversation between recent MacArthur Genius grant fellow Dawoud Bey and Silver Camera Awardee Deborah Willis about Willis’ impact on the photographic community as an artist and scholar. Co-chaired by Lisa Bailey, Dawoud Bey, and Jackie Moss, DARKROOM 2018 hosted more than 300 guests, who enjoyed an elegant evening celebration of photography while supporting the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the only museum of its kind in the region. mocp.org
