October is Photography Month at OCAG

From the Ocean County Artists Guild (OCAG) Photo Group is the news that the annual photography exhibition, Exposure 2024 will have its opening reception on Saturday evening, October 5th from 6-8 pm. We expect it to be a worthwhile outing with three of our galleries being full of work. The exhibition is juried with monetary prizes in 4 categories, Portraits, Still Life, Landscape and Abstract, Animals and a prize for Best In Show.

This year the Juror: Eric Levin was formerly the Special Projects Editor at People magazine before becoming the Deputy Editor of New Jersey Monthly magazine, a position from which he has just recently retired. He is an accomplished Fine Art photographer whose work has been in numerous exhibitions since the 1960’s. The Guild is excited to have him as the juror of this year’s exhibition.
