Deadline Extended: Monday December 12, 2022 (Midnight)
The Berkeley Arts Council announces My Home Town, a national juried photographic art exhibit. The exhibit will be on display from Wednesday January 11 to Saturday February 18, 2023.
Description: Capturing the essence of a town and its inhabitants, its neighborhoods, architecture, local businesses, the downtown district, etc., brings us a sense of history, memory and nostalgia. Do you live in a town or community that retains the look and feel of a bygone era? There is beauty in the small moments of everyday life. We are looking for your photos that portray the activity in a town of today against a backdrop of earlier times.
Eligibility: The exhibit is open to all artists throughout the continental United States, over the age of 18, working in any photographic medium or technique (digital, film, alternative, or antique photographic processes).
