The Art of Photography Show 2011 is a world-class international exhibition of photographic art which will occur August 13 – October 16 at the elegant two-level Lyceum Theatre Gallery, a perfect venue for exhibiting a large showcase of photography.

This is the seventh year of the Art of Photography Show. This major photographic exhibition is an ideal forum for photographers to exhibit and sell their work, reaching our very large community of art collectors, affluent individuals, corporate heads, civic leaders and very influential people who make up the Art of Photography Show audience. Entry Deadline: May 17th!
Our Judges:
One of the distinguishing characteristics of this competition and exhibition is that our judge is always a highly acclaimed museum curator. It's our view that getting one's photographs exhibited in a museum is the ultimate goal. Yet, getting exposed to museum curators is normally very difficult. Our project provides that opportunity. Here is a list of our judges so far:
* Arthur Ollman - Director of the Museum of Photographic Arts
* Natasha Egan - Associate Director and Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Photography
* Neal Benezra - Director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
* Charlotte Cotton - Director of Photography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
* Hugh Davies - Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
* Tim Wride - Director of Photography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
* Carol McCusker - Curator of Photography at the Museum of Photographic Arts
Our goal is to provide as many tangible benefits as possible for the exhibiting artists. The cash awards, accolades, media coverage and sales revenue that we provide to the artists who are selected by our esteemed judge are substantial. You can read many testimonials from artists in our previous shows here.
