OPENING NIGHT RECEPTION:
SATURDAY, August 6, 2011
7:30 - 10:30pm

The STILL LIFE is one of the most time honored artistic traditions. The magic of the still life is the transcendence of the artist's vision over everyday -- sometimes mundane --subject matter. From Edward Weston's peppers to Peter Hujars's tenement debris to Irving Penn's frozen vegetables, the still life magically transforms the flotsam and jetsam of our ordinary lives into fine art. Tis time 1650 Gallery welcomes your take on the still life.

There is an entry fee of $25 for up to 5 images. Additional entries may be submitted for $5 each.

25 to 30 works will be chosen from submitted photographs to be included in the STILL LIFE exhibition at 1650 Gallery in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Additional works may also be selected for an online gallery exhibition page.

All accepted entries must submit a high res jpeg (300-360 dpi , minimum size 5x7") to be included in the printed SHOW CATALOG.

We offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit our pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition. Precut mat sizes are 11x14" mats with an 8x10" window, or 16x20" mats with an 11x14" window and 20x24 mats with a 16x20 window.

We will also print your photo for a nominal fee if you are accepted into the show and would prefer not to mail a print.

Selected artists may choose to offer their work for sale. The gallery retains 40% of the sale price, as well as 9.25% California sales tax. We offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit our pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition.
