Sarah Stolfa 1975 -
Sarah Stolfa was born in Winfield, Illinois in 1975. She earned her BS in photography from Drexel University, Philadelphia, in 2005 and her MFA in Photography from Yale University in 2008. The work for which she has garnered the most recognition is a portrait series of the regular patrons at McGlinchey’s Bar, where she has worked as a bartender for several years. With this series, Stolfa won The New York Times Photography Contest for College Students in 2004 and several of her photographs were reproduced in The New York Times Magazine. In 2006, Stolfa was included in the Second Woodmere Triennial of Contemporary Photography at the Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia. In the same year, her work was exhibited at Gallery 339 in Philadelphia and Silverstein Photography in New York. In 2007, Stolfa was included in “Women to Watch” at Moore College of Art, Philadelphia, and in “L’Autre” at the Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery of the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. In addition to the Times award, Stolfa has also won the Noah Addis Photojournalism Award, an award for Artistic Excellence in the Perkins Center Photography Competition, the Alice Kimball Traveling Fellowship and the Rankin-Epstein Distinguished Alumnus Award. Stolfa is the founder and Executive Director of Philadelphia Photo Arts Center, a nonprofit organization devoted to the study, practice, and appreciation of photography in the Philadelphia region. Artisan books will publish Stolfa’s work “The Regulars” in June 2009.
