The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery and PhotoAlliance are pleased to present Eighteen Months: Taking the Pulse of Bay Area Photography. This exhibition features over 100 photographs by local artists and was the result of an open call. 261 regional photographers submitted works to be considered and 22 outstanding artists were selected. Eighteen Months presents a broad survey of what local photographers have been pointing their cameras at over the last year and a half. The selected works celebrate the diversity of Bay Area photographic production while they also highlight the unique viewpoints of the exhibiting artists. The diversity of style, interest and creative approaches represented in this juried exhibition clearly illustrates how the photographic talent present in the Bay Area continues to grow with each passing year.
