Underground Icons: Julie Kramer Photography
2025-07-26 - 2025-08-09 | The Studios at Lynn Museum & Arts Center (LynnArts) & The Neal Rantoul Vault Theatre, 25 Exchange Street, Lynn, MA, 01901, United States
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, July 26 from 5-8pm
Julie Kramer is a Massachusetts-born radio icon and rock-scene photographer best known for her nearly 25-year tenure at Boston’s legendary alternative rock station WFNX, where she served as a DJ, music director, and in-house photographer. Hailing from Marblehead, she became known for popular programs like Leftover Lunch and helped launch the careers of artists like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Adele, and Florence + the Machine. Julie was rarely without her camera, capturing iconic black-and-white and color images of music legends such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Joe Strummer, and Björk. After WFNX was sold in 2012, she helped launch RadioBDC, which later became Indie617, where she remains active today.
A trove of over 10,000 photo negatives discovered in her basement led to The Basement Archives: The Ghosts of WFNX, a photo exhibition honoring Boston’s alternative music history. Though her original passion was photography, Julie’s role at WFNX allowed her to merge sound and image in a career that defined a generation of alternative rock radio.
“30 years ago I photographed incredible local and national bands and musicians. Taking it back to where it all started 25 Exchange St -Lynn The original home of WFNX, now Galleries at Lynn Arts. We have been trying for years to get a show here and it’s finally happening.” – Julie Kramer
Please join GALA in celebrating the musical history of Lynn and the photography of a brilliant woman. This exhibit will take you on a journey of musical history that all happened right here at 25 Exchange Street.

Set against the backdrop of Palette Function Room, this impactful evening will feature handcrafted cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, live music, a silent auction, and powerful stories of resilience and hope.
