Come by the Photo Alliance to see our current exhibition, Holding Ground: On Gathering.
The New Orleans Photo Alliance invited photographers to explore gathering as both a hidden influence and a beacon of resilience.

From elite networks wielding unchecked global power to community demonstrations of joy and protest — including Mardi Gras here in our own city — we show images that reflect how communities, large and small, convene in an uncertain world. Work reflecting abstract and expansive interpretations of gathering are also represented.

TODAY, May 12 (11:59 PM
CT), is the deadline to submit your work to the Light on Cut Paper: Photography and Collage open call!

For the third year in a row, we are collaborating with Kolaj Institute to bring this exhibition to the NOPA Gallery durring Kolaj Fest!

Submit your work here: https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=17358&utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaARwUVlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAafRv357b6RyjsduoenbXlA0oX1RTV4ieG4BMhrA5G_9V-rFdcZkDCy14mv1FA_aem_2M3wgMKl2zdmqMlpeFMEqQ

Photography and collage have a long history of being in dialogue with one another; however, the intersection of these two mediums is poorly explored. New Orleans Photo Alliance and Kolaj Institute are working together to investigate the intersection of this medium. We are seeking work by artists who collage their own photographs, make photomontage, use a collage-like process in either the composition of photographs or in the dark room. We are open to any artwork where the artist feels the image speaks to this intersection.
