1650 Gallery - Selfies and Self Portraits Photography Exhibition
IF the ancient Greeks implored us to "know thyself" and common knowledge assures us that " a picture is worth a thousands words", doesn't it follow that the amalgamation of random know-nothing's collectively called "the human race" should be CONSTANTLY photographing themselves in an effort to gain true wisdom and artistic insight? It should! And also because it's just plain insanely inventive to do so!
Just ask ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE or CINDY SHERMAN. This month 1650 goes completely SELF-CENTERED as we pay homage to the time-honored art of
the SELF-PORTRAIT! And while we highly encourage you NOT to cut your ear off before snapping your own mug, we do encourage you to muster a little bit of the artistic passion that fueled a certain well-known Dutch dude's compulsion to capture the true spirit within. So this month, whether you have a face that launched a thousand ships or you are a bit more on the JoJo the Dog-Faced Boy side of the tracks, grab a camera and crank out an image that is indisputably YOU! Because EVERYTHING IS
BEAUTIFUL in its own way, and at 1650 this time we are being TOTALLY selfish about things as we dive head first into the wonderful world of
SELF-PORTRAITS and SELFIES!!!
There is an entry fee of $35 for up to 5 images. Additional entries may be submitted for $5 each. We offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit our pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition.
SUBMIT PHOTOS
AWARDS: Best In Show, 2nd Place and 3rd Place will be awarded and posted online after the show opening. Award winning photos will be featured on the show page and Best In Show winners will have a small portfolio of their work (up to 10 images) featured in our 1650 Spotlight gallery of photographic excellence.
All Awards winners will also be featured in our 1650 Gallery newsletter, which is broadcast via email to our mailing list. Getting the word out about artists we're excited about helps you do more great work, helps us show more great work, and helps keep the often insular world of fine art photography more diverse and vibrant.

reception!
