Spring Forward With Annual Ocean City Juried Photography Show

OCEAN CITY, NJ — As the weather gets warmer, enjoy the Ocean City Arts Center's annual juried photography show throughout April.

The show opens April 1 and runs through April 29. A "Meet the Artists" reception will be held on Friday, April 11 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Gallery is located in the Ocean City Arts Center, 1735 Simpson Ave.

Last year's show had a new twist - a theme. Continuing with that, this year's theme is "Communication." The participating photographers were challenged to create something specific using "communication," a theme meant to be as broad as possible.

Prizes are awarded for Best in Show, Second and Third Place, two Honorable Mentions and the President's Award. This year's judges are noted area photographers, George Gehring, Beebe Bahrami and Ericka Midiri. Check Art Center’s website after April 11 to see the winners.

The show runs from April 1-29. The Ocean City Arts Center is located on the second floor in the Community Center at 1735 Simpson Ave. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.
