首届草场地摄影季即将于2010年4月17日开幕。“草场地摄影季”将与法国阿尔勒国际摄影节进行为期三年的合作，这将是阿尔勒国际摄影节的项目首次在法国以外展出。
过去四十年来，阿尔勒国际摄影节一直是摄影艺术家、专业摄影人士以及摄影爱好者们会聚一堂的地方，他们纷纷来到法国南部的这座小城，发现新的摄影人才，重新发现著名的摄影大师。
北京东北郊草场地最初于2000年创办了首家艺术机构，自此不断繁荣，目前该地区已拥有数十家画廊、艺术机构和艺术家工作室。草场地摄影季的目的在于通过摄影家、摄影收藏家以及公众一道，共同欣赏高品质作品的年度活动，为摄影打造一个平台。草场地摄影季将是草场地二十多家画廊、艺术机构首度合作，联手展示来自国内外的摄影佳作。
2010年4月17日至4月21日，首届草场地摄影季将正式拉开帷幕。开幕周内，草场地每家合作画廊和机构将举办不同的活动，如展览开幕式、讲座、晚间音乐会以及幻灯片、纪录片放映。首届草场地摄影季开幕周还将公布2010年三影堂摄影奖获奖者，展示2009年法国阿尔勒国际摄影节“发现奖”提名及获奖者作品，召开以“摄影艺术的导向：创意或市场”为主题的专题研讨会，草场地二十多位艺术家向公众开放工作室，同时还将举办由国际专业摄影人士参加的专家见面会，公众可以与来自国内外的专业摄影人士进行近距离接触与交流。所有活动将向公众开放。

CAOCHANGDI PHOTOSPRING
Arles in Beijing
We are pleased to announce the launch of the first annual Caochangdi PhotoSpring on April 17th, 2010. The Caochangdi PhotoSpring is working in a three-year partnership with Les Rencontres d’Arles Photography Festival. This will be the very first time that Arles’ programs will be shown outside of France.
For the past forty years, Les Rencontres d’Arles has been the meeting point of photography artists, professionals, and amateurs alike, who come to the southern French city to discover the new talents of photography and rediscover its celebrated masters.
The Caochangdi art district was born in northeastern Beijing in 2000 and has since flourished into a vibrant artistic hub with numerous galleries, art institutions, and artists’ studios. The aim of the Caochangdi PhotoSpring is to build a platform for photography in the art district through an annual event where photographers, photography collectors and the public can meet to have access to high quality works. For the first time, twenty Caochangdi galleries will join forces to celebrate photography from China and abroad with Caochangdi PhotoSpring.
The launch of the 2010 Caochangdi PhotoSpring will take place from April 17th through 21st. During this week of festivities, each of the partnering Caochangdi galleries will host different activities, such as exhibition openings, lectures, evening concerts, documentary film screenings, and slideshows. The opening week of the 2010 Caochangdi PhotoSpring will also feature the announcement of the 2010 Three Shadows Photography Award winner, the presentation of the 2009 Discovery Award of Arles Laureate, a symposium on Photography: Creativity vs. the Market, artist open studios, as well as portfolio reviews by a panel of international photography professionals. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet with photography professionals from China and abroad. All events will be open to the public.
