Thank You for Another Great Exposed!

March 13, 2015 By exposeddc

Our 9th annual Exposed DC Photography Show kicked off with a bang last night! Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate our fantastic D.C. area photographers and their 42 images of life in the District. You can buy any of the (very affordable!) framed photographs in the show at our online store. You can also buy the official exhibition magazine at MagCloud or in person at our free closing reception on April 11, 4 to 8 p.m. Additional dates to view the exhibition for free are:

– Saturday, March 14, 4:30-7:30pm
– Friday, March 20, 6-8pm
– Saturday, March 28, 6-8pm

Huge thanks go to Capital Fringe, who hosted the show in their brand new headquarters in Trinidad. Their staff was amazing last night, and the Fringe team has been a great partner for us this year. Fringe offers theater, music, and other events year round, including the annual Capital Fringe Festival in the summer – sign up for their newsletter to check out the latest offerings.

Hundreds of you raised a glass for Bluejacket last night and their killer beers brewed right here in D.C. Last night they poured for us their Forbidden Planet – Dry-Hopped Kolsch, Lost Weekend – Citra IPA, A Little Golden Gem – Kumquat Gose, and the Full Bloom – Funky Farmhouse Ale. (I loved them all, but dang I could drink that deliciously sour A Little Golden Gem every day.) Visit their bar and restaurant in Navy Yard to try their latest offerings.

Additional thanks go to BaseCamp DC for their top-notch printing services, Johanna Ostrich for designing our exhibition program, and Jim Darling for photographing last night’s event.

Remember to sign up for our newsletter or follow us on Twitter and Facebook to hear about our other events, photography news from the D.C. area, and to be notified when our 10th (!!) annual contest opens this December. [Read more…]

Exposed DC is pleased to announce its 8^th annual Exposed DC Photography Show at Long View Gallery, from March 19 to April 6, 2014. After seven wonderful years with DCist, we’re now closing in on our first year since we launched as an independent, year-round venture last June, and we’re proud to say it’s been a success. We’re working hard to cultivate the local photography community, from hobbyist to professional, with our website that features interviews with local talent, reams of informational guides for everything from studio rentals to photography classes, and a calendar highlighting every photography event in the region. We’ll continue to build on this community that our annual exhibition has created through exciting new features and events in the coming year.

Our 49 winning photographs were chosen from a contest for their unique view of the Washington area – not as a political venue or tourist destination, but as a place where we live and work and love every day. Six of those photographs will be awarded our inaugural Best in Show award and $100 prize, chosen by a panel of distinguished metro-area photojournalists, and made possible by the Corcoran College of Art + Design.

Our opening reception will be held in Long View’s newly expanded 9,000 square foot gallery space. Local businesses will complete our celebration of everything Washington, with beer from the new Bluejacket Brewery, wine from Boxwood Winery, Cavanagh Family Imports and A&M Imports, and a delicious selection of bites from Founding Farmers and Farmers Fishers Bakers, Tel’Veh Wine Bar, and Everlasting Life Vegan Restaurant. We’ve invited DJ Sequoia and v:shal kanwar back to spin tunes.

Tickets are $15 in advance, with limited $20 tickets at the door.

Join us for a free after party in The Passenger’s theater. 8 p.m. to close, cash bar.

A full-color Exhibition Program with the 2014 winners will be available for $10. The special issue 5th Anniversary Magazine from 2011 will also be available for $25. At the reception only, guests can purchase them together for $30.

Long View Gallery is located at 1234 9th St. NW, just a few blocks from the Mt. Vernon/Convention Center Metro. All photographs displayed will be for sale. Regular gallery hours are Wednesday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday, 12 to 5 p.m. Free.

The 2014 Exposed DC Photography Show is a Ten Miles Square LLC production.

Contest Launch Party — Thanks for Coming!

December 5, 2013 By Heather Goss

We hope folks had a blast last night at our contest launch party! It was wonderful to see so many photographer faces that we hadn’t seen in a while, and so many Exposed supporters. Bluejacket was a fantastic host – we hope you enjoyed their gorgeous renovated Navy Yard warehouse and got to try lots of their unique brews (I think the Stowaway is my favorite so far). You can look forward to more of those behind the bar at our exhibit opening reception on March 19, 2014.

As we start our 8th year, expect even more from the bigger, badder Exposed DC. Last night kicked off what will be regular monthly happy hours so that photographers can meet and mingle off-line and explore new venues in the city. Save the date for our next one on Wednesday, January 15 – the day we announce our 2014 contest winners. And we have more surprises in store for this year’s show that we’ll be announcing soon, so stay tuned!
