Double Exposure Photography Exhibition 2014-15

In its 12th year, the Double Exposure juried photography competition is open to photographers in the state of Alabama with divisions for both Juniors and Adults. Images to appear in the exhibit are chosen from digital images on disks mailed to The Arts Council then the purchase award, cash prizes and honorable mentions are selected after the exhibit is hung in the gallery prior to the opening reception. I am excited to announce that Saint James has three students that have made it through the first round of judging and their pieces will hang in the Bama Theatre Gallery from January 19-February 15, 2015. Winners will be posted on their website January 16, 2015.
