Play / Ground:

Exploring the Power of Unstructured
Outdoor Play

January 19 to February 25, 2012

Adventure playgrounds are community-based spaces where children literally create their own environment using hammers, saws, wood and other loose materials.

My work communicates to audiences that play is more than something cute or sweet; it is a full engagement with life, which many of us have forgotten. It is a revolutionary activity. My aim is to use images to awaken that sense in the viewer.

Resolved: exhibit my work in 2012
Here's how to submit your work and
get a show:

If you've been building a body of work that is ready, or almost ready to show, the Fall is a great time to plan an exhibit in the Picturish Gallery for next year. The Gallery is a not for profit gallery space made available to selected photographers to show-case and sell their work.
Larry Wolfley
The Gallery provides the San Francisco Bay Area with an opportunity to expand its exposure to current excellent photographic work and local artists and to buy directly from the artists.

The Photolab Gallery has shown over 140 exhibits since 1991, featuring the work of over 127 photo-graphers including several artists, like Larry Wolfley shown on right, who have been invited to show more than once.

Many photographers who have shown in the Gallery have gone on to be represented by professional art galleries and stock agencies and now have work in private and public collections.

But you've got three things to do first (if you haven't done them already):

1. Visit the Gallery in person to get a feel for our space and style and take a look at the current work on exhibit.
2. Sign up on the mailing list and come to at least one artist's reception.
3. Read the exhibition application to get familiar with our guidelines, fees and requirements.

Most photographers contact us by email to receive an application and set up an portfolio review. Portfolios can also be submitted by mail in the form of cds or dvds, slides. We'll want to see your web site too.

Do you have an exhibit idea? Pitch it to us!
We are especially looking for groups of photographers who want to exhibit together.

We also have 2 openings right now for photographers who want to be paired with another one or two photographers with compatible work in order to exhibit together.

Portfolio Reviews
Portfolios are usually reviewed on Saturday mornings by appointment only. Please call or email Andrea McLaughlin to make an appointment.

If you have an interesting, small exhibit on a single theme or short subject (4 to 8 pictures for one wall) and would be willing to hang it, usually on short notice, and take it down again, contact Andrea at Photolab: (510) 644-1400

we use these small exhibits for short periods (usually a week or 2 at most) between larger full exhibits.
