Registration: $100 per student

Dates: Monday, March 23 & Wednesday, March 25, 2026

Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Capacity: 16 participants

This two-session workshop explores how strong photographic ideas are formed and translated into finished images. Led by Alex Eischeid, Uncanny Art House’s exhibiting artist for the month of March, the class focuses on concept-driven photography rather than technical instruction alone.

Session One: Concept Development (March 23)

The first session centers on shaping photographic ideas before picking up the camera. Participants will explore intention, narrative, symbolism, and visual planning, examining how conceptual decisions influence composition, lighting, and execution. Discussion and examples will guide students through building a clear creative framework for their work.

Session Two: Execution & Demonstration (March 25)

The second session focuses on translating a developed concept into a finished photograph. Participants will observe real-time setup, decision-making, and problem-solving as the image is created. After the workshop, attendees will receive access to a recorded edit of the final image, allowing them to revisit techniques and workflows at their own pace.

This workshop is ideal for photographers interested in strengthening their conceptual thinking and understanding how ideas evolve into cohesive visual work.

4th Friday Films: The B-Side Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography

Friday, March 27, 2026 | 6:00 PM
📍 Uncanny Art House | 106 E Main St, Norman, OK

This intimate documentary offers a thoughtful portrait of photographer Elsa Dorfman, reflecting on her fifty-year career behind the camera. Filmed after her retirement, the documentary follows Dorfman as she revisits her archive, sharing personal stories and artistic insights tied to the images she created.

Best known for her large-format Polaroid portraits, Dorfman photographed writers, artists, and cultural figures including Allen Ginsberg, Anaïs Nin, W. H. Auden, Audre Lorde, and Anne Sexton, along with countless families and friends. The film explores her early black-and-white work, her connections to the Beat literary scene, and her deep love for the 20x24 Polaroid camera, one of only a handful ever produced.

Through humor, memory, and reflection, The B-Side becomes not only a study of photography, but a meditation on time, friendship, loss, and the meaning of making images.

This screening continues our 4th Friday Film series, highlighting artists and filmmakers whose work explores process, identity, and creative life.

🎟️ Tickets: $15 online / $20 at the door

Step inside the surreal world of In Dreams: A David Lynch Tribute for an evening of uncanny laughter and absurd humor. Comedy in the Black Lodge transforms the gallery into a dreamlike stage for three unforgettable performances.

James Nghiem

Known for his rhythmic delivery, comedic experimentation, and odd perspective, allowing him to approach topics from multiple angles and engage audiences in unexpected ways.

James tackles both the everyday and the almost-never with sharp wit. Filled with non sequitur logic, the seemingly random events that shape his act blur the line between silly and profound. His comedy is bizarre, entertaining, lighthearted, and always fun.

He runs the digital comedy label Robot Saves City, has opened for national headlining acts, and has appeared on several comedy podcasts, including No Fun Intended, alongside guests such as Paul F. Tompkins, Maria Bamford, Doug Benson, Kyle Kinane, Todd Barry, and Marc Maron.

The Martin Duprass

This husband-and-wife duo, known for their offbeat characters and DIY comedy, expanded a quarantine-born sketch into a 37-minute satire about internet fame, awkwardness, and social media chaos. They recently premiered their newest short comedy film, Awkward Gawker, at the Oklahoma Film Exchange on October 18. The film features an ensemble of Oklahoma’s outsider comedy scene and eccentric storytelling.

Jennifer Johnson

A rising Oklahoma comedian (Reweathering America), Jennifer Johnson’s dry wit and disarming honesty turn everyday experiences into sharp, hilarious observations. Her smart, grounded humor opens the night with just the right balance of warmth and weirdness.
