About
Photo A-GoGo
Every December, for over two decades, the Bakery Photographic Collective has held our annual fine art photography exhibition and auction, famously known as Photo A-GoGo. The event has become one of southern Maine’s most-anticipated annual arts events-a memorable evening with live music, local drinks and eats, and a space full of friends and amazing photography.
Photo A-GoGo plays a crucial role in raising funds that support our photographic education and community outreach initiatives at The Bakery Photo Collective. This vibrant event brings together photographers, curators, and community members, fostering connections while celebrating the art of photography. The funds generated from each year’s GoGo directly contribute to workshops, classes, and resources that are made accessible to the public. By engaging the community in this interactive and creative environment, Photo A-GoGo not only highlights the importance of photography as an art form, but also ensures that essential educational opportunities are available for all, enriching the local cultural landscape.
Thank you for your participation and generous support!
