The '99 Cents' photography exhibit at the 2010 CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto features photographs that explore the theme of what organizers call the greatest ploy in the history of marketing: everything and anything for 99 cents.
The 99 Cents photography exhibit features both literal and figurative visual interpretations by artists including Ryan Louis, Rebecca Lo, Michael Thompson and Kathryn Bailey. By the same token, beer, wine and food at the opening will be priced at--you guessed it--99 cents.
