January 2, 2013

Did you take your first photograph when you were young?

Early Works will be an exhibition that examines the naive imagery made by contemporary photographers when they were children. There early images often reveal surprising talent, visual intuition, and honesty. Kept for many decades in shoeboxes and faded albums, the images are often cherished belongings that play a key role in defining the self as artists. This exhibition will b a close look at photographers' earliest works, paired with personal narratives about the images and their role in each photographers' development as an artist.

Curated by Laura Moya and Laura Valenti Jelen

Submission Deadline: Monday, February 4, 2013

Exhibition Venues: Newspace (Portland) and RayKo (San Francisco)
