Sad Mag loves Vancouver photographer Angela Fama and The Acorn Restaurant–we featured them both in our Vanimaux issue–so we were thrilled to discover that artist and eatery are teaming up to help celebrate Main Street’s Car Free Day, this Sunday, June 16th from noon to 7pm. 

Fama will park herself and her mobile studio at the Acorn’s storefront, where she will be capturing portraits of willing participants.  Select photographs from the day’s session will be included in an exhibition at the Museum of Vancouver as part of the Capture Photography Festival throughout October.

Fama was chosen, along with three other local photographers (Lincoln Clarkes, John Goldsmith and Brian Howell), to present work in conversation with legendary Vancouver post-war street photographer, Foncie Pulice, who is the subject of a full-scale exhibition on view at MOV from June 6 – January 5, 2014.

As part of The Acorn’s ongoing commitment to supporting art and artists in Vancouver, the collaboration with Angela Fama will extend to The Acorn Artist Series, where upon the restaurant will print 1000 complimentary postcard prints for customers during the month of October in conjunction with the Capture Photography Festival.

The Acorn will be open from 12pm onward for Car-Free Day, offering light snacks and refreshments.

Angela Fama is a Vancouver-based photographer who has exhibited at the National Gallery in Ottawa and the Elliot Louis Gallery in Vancouver.  Her work delves into the recesses of the forgotten or ignored, often revealing unique perspectives on history through it’s temporal placement in the present day.
