The application deadline for the 2009 “ALAMEDA ON CAMERA” exhibit is coming up on February 3rd, 2009. This is a juried, City-wide event in which 48 hand-selected photo-based artists will be given 48 hours to explore and document Alameda neighborhoods, favorite places, and secret hideaways. Traditions and cherished nostalgia, families, friends, and town characters will share the lens with candid shots of our skeletons and dirty laundry.
All “photo-based” artwork mediums and techniques welcome! Traditional, contemporary and experimental photo-based 2D, 3D, functional, decorative, wearable and jewelry artwork included. All photographic techniques and mediums welcome, including but not limited to, new photographic mediums, photo transfer, digital, Polaroid, snapshots, collage, pieces of film, altered books, assemblage, textile, creative manipulations, etc.
Each of the 48 selected artists will then photograph a unique geographic area of Alameda between 9PM Friday, February 27 and 9PM Sunday, March 1.
This exciting project will culminate with The Alameda On Camera Exhibit: Each of the forty-eight artists will exhibit their final artwork pieces created from the photographic images taken during the challenge event.
