Blackstone Valley Art Association Leave a comment

We’re heading out on a field trip on Wednesday, June 8th, 2016 to see the “Cats” show at the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts. A number of BVAA members are participating in this show!

We’ll meet at the main desk in the lobby at 2pm. Contact Lisa for more details about coordinating with the group if you’re late or lost. The museum’s open until 5pm on Wednesday so there’ll be time to explore the rest of the museum as people choose.

Here’s information on the Cat submission process!

DEADLINE:
June 15, 2016

EXHIBITION DATES:
September-October 2016

LOCATIONS:
Brickbottom Gallery, Nave Gallery Annex and Washington Street Art Center

JURIED BY:
Christopher James

The Somerville Toy Camera Festival seeks entries for its fourth annual celebration of toy and lo-fi photography.

Images of any subject matter, made with a “toy” camera – any low-tech, limited-control camera such as pinhole, Holga, Diana/Diana clones, Brownies, Anscos, disposable cameras – are eligible. This year we also welcome images made with digital holgas and certain hybrid devices, such as plastic cameras that have been modified to shoot plate film, or outfitted with modified shutters or digital chips. The key criteria are plastic lenses and a lack of reliable exposure control. Straight Polaroid-type images or images made with cell phones or digital cameras (other than digital Holga) will not be considered.

Deadline for submission: June 15, 2016
Photographers will be notified by: July 15, 2016
Work must be received by: August 27, 2016

All shows will open in September. Exact dates and related events to be determined. The final placement of work will be decided by the organizing committee. Accepted pieces should be delivered to the respective gallery ready to install. Artists are responsible for cost of shipping to and from the gallery.
