They
say a picture is worth a thousand words, so what happens when it's
actually a picture of words? This month 1650 tackles the medium of
messaging, with a juried photo competition of the world of signs, words
and messages. Motels, street peddlers, shop windows, traffic signs...
signs are everywhere, and they all want to talk to us. So send us your
billboards, your fridge magnets, your shopping lists and your
skywriting... give us your classic neon, your time-worn peeled paint
and your ball-point pen on scrap paper. Show us your clever, your
factual, even the downright dumb; if it's some sort of sign,
announcement or message that speaks to you, let it speak to us too!
This month at 1650, the message is the medium, and the word is the
thing, as we explore the everywhere world of SIGNS!
Approximately fifty works will be chosen from submitted photographs to
be included in the IT'S A SIGN exhibition at 1650 Gallery in the Echo
Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Additional works may also be selected
for an online gallery exhibition page.
There is an entry fee of $25 for up to 5 images. Additional entries may
be submitted for $5 each.
Selected artists may choose to offer their work for sale. The gallery
retains 50% of the sale price, as well as 8.75% 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.

Good luck and hope to see you at the opening reception!
