Gregory’s Photographic Arts has long been a financial supporter of the Aldo Leopold Nature Center (ALNC). ALNC’s mission is to instill a love & understanding of nature and the environment into the minds and hearts of children in the greater Dane County area with special programs, classes and events which take place throughout the year. A portion of each wedding event retainer Gregory’s Photographic Arts collects is donated to ALNC to help fund these many projects. Gregory’s wedding & portrait photography in Madison, Wisconsin has been responsible for thousands of dollars in donations to ALNC in large part because of the voluntary membership in ALNC by his clients & friends.
In the coming year Gregory Bleck, an Oblate with Holy Wisdom Monastery in Middleton, Wisconsin, will be developing two new workshop programs; one delving into the connection between the creative photographic arts and Christian spiritual practice and the other a more secular introduction to creative photography for those amateurs wanting to refine their vision and skill level. Sign up for the Gregory’s Photographic Arts newsletter for information on these upcoming educational opportunities.
