Juror: Joe Ramos
Originally from the Salinas Valley, San Francisco photographer Joe Ramos has been photographing for over 40 years. He studied photography at the San Francisco Art Institute with Richard Conrat, Dorothea Lange's last assistant. He considers himself a documentary photographer and has large bodies of imagery from the Salinas Valley and San Francisco's Mission District. Photography for him has become away for him to document both the simple and the profound.
Santa Cruz Art League creates an environment where local as well as regional & national artists
display their art. The many classes in art and performance provide a space for learning and enhancing
the creative process. Established in 1919, Santa Cruz Art League is Santa Cruz County’s longest standing
arts organization and is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit.
Exhibition Theme
During the pandemic lockdown many photographers reconnected with time-honored subjects such as portraits and landscapes in a different way than before. It was a time when many photographers found refuge in nature and created images of places that they had forgotten or never seen before. Stuck at home, others reconnected with loved ones and themselves, bringing new life into portraits and self-portraits by going beyond documentation and inviting reflection. For many artists, the pandemic affected how they saw their subject matter. Artists are invited to submit portrait, self-portrait, and landscape photographs that were taken from March 2020 on, especially those taken during the lockdown.
Open to nationwide residents. This show is open to photography on all 2-d media.
