Pasadena PHOTOGRAPHY Arts is…

PasadenaPhotographyArts’ (PPA) mission is to promote diverse photography projects by established and emerging photographers worldwide through a series of virtual events and shows. In addition, PPA is committed to sponsoring educational programs by accomplished photography professionals. To achieve the mission, PPA’s ongoing monthly virtual programming includes “Open Show – Pasadena/East LA” and “PPA Forum.” Through FORUM, we invite special guests including museum curators, art educators, and long-established photographers. Through Open Show - Pasadena/East LA, we support the projects of emerging and professional fine art, documentary and conceptual photographers.

For those of you who have not experienced OpenShow, it's an international platform now in 31 cities, in 15 countries, designed to give photographers at all levels an opportunity to show and discuss their creative projects. If you would like to submit your project to Open Show…go to openshow.org…select submit a project…then scroll down to our venue. We are OS-Pasadena East LA. Since we began we’ve helped over 140 photographers get their work in front of an audience, many of them for the first time.
