Exposed DC Featured on WETA Arts October 2022

By

On the latest WETA Arts episode, host Felicia Curry met with Exposed DC founder, Heather Goss, to talk about “this visual celebration of the city”—including some of the best images we’ve featured through Exposed—and the community we’ve been building together for 17 years. You can watch the episode above and on weta.org. Our segment starts around the 18 minute mark, but we recommend watching the whole thing to get a look into the craftsmanship and community of cosplay at AwesomeCon and to meet local finalists in the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. Be sure to watch through the end for photography credits too, which we’ve also included below.

We want to thank everyone who helped make this happen: the entire WETA Arts cast and crew, our friends at the DC History Center (home of our blow-out 10th anniversary show) who let us film in their gallery, and of course our amazing community of photographers that continues to grow each year, our partners and sponsors over 17 years, and our dedicated Exposed DC team.

Photographers featured in the segment, in order of appearance:

Washington Post Magazine Mention

The show gets a mention in this weekend’s Washington Post magazine! (Though small and in a weird place, the magazine did in fact credit Russell Brammer with the photo they used, contrary to our earlier rant. Thanks Russell for pointing that out!)

Photographer Patrick Onofre had Exposed founder Heather Goss on his Staying In Focus Photography Podcast to talk about Exposed, Ten Miles Square, and how she got into art writing. Patrick has interviewed many local photographers on his show, including several Exposed alumni: Angela Kleis, Jim Darling, Matt Dunn, Yonas Hassen, Pablo Benavente, Mike Hicks, James Campbell, Brandon Kopp, Brian Mosley and  Ryan Maxwell.

If you were ever interested in how we started the show, how James Calder and Heather make it happen every year, and how we choose the photos, this will answer your questions. Thanks Patrick!
