On April 9th, 2016, Nash Street, the Main Street of Wilson, North Carolina will be transformed again into a vibrant gallery of large-scale photographs. One hundred prominent and emerging photographers from more than 30 countries will join forces to help revitalize Historic Downtown Wilson.
The exhibition, curated by Jerome De Perlinghi and co-curated by Catherine Lloyd and Regina Monfort, will focus on the theme of "Main Street, a Crossroads of Cultures" as interpreted by the individual photographers. "Photographers do not need words as they write with light", says De Perlinghi who also serves as artistic director of the festival.
One hundred images will be displayed in storefront windows, spanning six city blocks. The festival is open day and night, and this year will run through July 10, 2016. The Kick-Off Street Party will be on April 9th, from 5pm to 8pm at the corners of Nash and Douglass Streets. There will also be a number of other festivities throughout the 100 days of the festival.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience photographic art in a unique setting. Historic Wilson, NC is about an hour, or less, from downtown Raleigh.
