Bill Horin

Bill Horin

Founder & Executive Director
Bill’s love of art began when at the age of 28 he visited the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the first time and exclaimed,’ Wait…how long has this been here?’. He then traveled frequently visiting galleries and museums across the country and in Europe before realizing he didn’t have to leave South Jersey to find great art. Bill has been a professional photographer for over 35 years. Since 2001 he has published two magazines, hosted weekly radio and TV shows, produced numerous documentaries and founded two organizations, ArtC and Strobe, all dedicated to shine a light on the arts and artists of South Jersey.

Frank Weiss

Frank Weiss

Director of Video Production
Frank Weiss began his career as a photographer in 2005 in Kandahar, Afghanistan, while serving in the United States Air Force. Distraught by the arguably misleading views of the Middle East popularized by news media, Frank felt obligated to capture photographs highlighting the innate humanity behind the headlines. He continues to pursue these ideals with his documentary filmmaking in countries such as Haiti, Jordan and Belise. As the Director of Video Production for ArtC he is an important reason for their award winning videos. He is a skilled videographer who is also well versed in editing, audio and effects.
