The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation has announced this year’s fellowship winners. A “Guggenheim” is one of the most sought-after honors in academe, the arts, and culture. It helps underwrite a proposed artistic or scholarly project. Eleven of this year’s 198 recipients, the 100th Guggenheim class, live in Greater Boston. Six are affiliated with Boston University. Lynne Daphne Allen, who teaches in the College of Fine Arts, lives in Brookline.

In 1929, Yousuf Karsh, one of the most noted portrait photographers of the 20th century, began his career in Boston. After many years in Canada, he later returned, spending the final five years of his life living here. The Boston Public Library announced Thursday it was the recipient of 47 Karsh photographs. They were donated by his late widow, Estrellita, in honor of Peter Brown, former chairman of the Associates of the Boston Public Library.

A big anniversary looms, as you may have heard. The American Revolution started 250 years ago, on April 19, 1775, in Lexington and Concord. Cue the fifes and drums. Or maybe you haven’t heard. The bicentennial of the revolution was a very big deal. The semiquincentennial (that’s the word for 250th anniversary)? Not so much. Four current exhibitions seek to address that.

The organizing principle behind “Photo/Faculty” is right there in the title. The 53 works on display are all by teachers of photography at local colleges and universities. The show, which runs through May 17 at the Photographic Resource Center, is curated by the PRC’s Catherine LeComte Lecce. Other than having an academic affiliation — and using a camera — the contributors have nothing particular in common. This makes for a bracingly varied show.

CAMBRIDGE — In 1974, Andrew Satter was a student at Imageworks, a photography school in East Cambridge. The school closed a year later. Nearby was Russ’s Kitchenette Diner. That, too, closed many years ago, in 1978. The school and the diner had two things in common: their location and Satter. “I stumbled on the diner getting lunch one day,” he explained recently. That stumbling led to a lot of eating — and photo taking. The results of the former are hard to see. Satter, 71, has a trim, athletic build.
