People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be.
Let the time go by,
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.
Ahh, the street. That intoxicating cocktail of humanity. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the majesty of New York’s Fifth Ave or the Champ de Elysee to the humblest backstreet and alley. Some have seen better days, like the ghost towns of Highway 61, and some are teeming with the kaleidoscope of humanity. But whether they are asphalt or cobblestone, made of dirt or even water, every street tells a story. It may be the structures that whisper of the past, or it may be the now explosion of a new nightlife hotspot. Whatever it is, now is the time to leave the narrow confines of your humble abode and venture out into the unpredictable byways of human interaction! You may find a favorite corner or boulevard you love, or perhaps you’ll meet the girl of your dreams or maybe even an honest to god kook! Whatever happens, don’t forget to focus and trip the shutter wherever your trip may lead, because this month at 1650, it’s all about the road more or less travelled as we put on our walking shoes and enter the world of STREETSCAPES.
AWARDS: Best In Show, 2nd Place and 3rd Place will be awarded and posted online after the show opening. Award winning photos will be featured on the show page and Best In Show winners will have a small portfolio of their work (up to 10 images) featured in our 1650 Spotlight gallery of photographic excellence.
All Awards winners will also be featured in our 1650 Gallery newsletter, which is broadcast via email to our mailing list. Getting the word out about artists we're excited about helps you do more great work, helps us show more great work, and helps keep the often insular world of fine art photography more diverse and vibrant.
Approximately fifty works will be chosen from submitted photos to be included in the STREETSCAPES group photography exhibition at 1650 Gallery in Los Angeles.
There is an entry fee of $35 for up to 5 images. Additional entries may be submitted for $5 each.
We offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit our pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition. We have a variety of frames and mats to choose from.
We will also print your photo for a nominal fee if you are accepted into the show and would prefer not to mail a print.
Selected artists may choose to offer their work for sale. The gallery retains 50% sales commission. We offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit our pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition.
