Through A Curious Lens - Photography

A National Art Exhibit

Santa Cruz Art League   /   Deadline: 05/25/15

July 10 through August 9, 2015
Reception: Saturday, July 18, 2015, 3 - 5pm
Juror: Sen Duggan, Fine Art Photographer / Educator School of Visual Arts

Curious [kyoo r-ee-uh s] adj. 1. Eager to learn or know; inquisitive. 2. Strange; surprising; odd; highly unusual. Photography is the act of looking, seeing, and finding images, both in the world around us, as well as in our imaginations. It is an inquisitive pursuit, and while it is well suited to recording the world as it is, it is also uniquely suited to portraying the curious world of dreams, memories, emotional, fictional narratives, and the pathways of the imagination. This exhibition is open to all forms of photography, including images that have been digitally altered, and seeks to find photographs that look at the world through a curious lens, whether that is through an inquisitive look at ordinary things portrayed in a different way, or scenes, real or imagined, that evoke the realm of dreams, memory, and the imagination...
