The San Benito County Arts Council is currently accepting submissions for “FRAMING A STORY” – a fine art photography exhibition that will be displayed at the Annex in downtown Hollister from June 24-Aug. 4.
ABOUT THE SHOW
FRAMING A STORY is an exhibition of local photographers featuring photographic essays. Photo essays are a set or series of photographs intended to tell a story, moreso than through a single image. Photo essays can be thematic (i.e. address a topic or issue) or narrative (i.e. telling a story in chronological sequence).
The reception for FRAMING A STORY will take place from 6-8 pm Friday, July 12 to celebrate the participating artists’ work with music, food, and drinks. The exhibition will be up through Aug. 4.
