Brief & Application Procedure

In April 2009, the inaugural Month of Photography Los Angeles showcased the enormous photography community, inclusive of commercial, fine art and photojournalism. As the second largest photography community in the United States, Los Angeles provides a distinctive backdrop to the celebration of the photographic image.
Month of Photography Los Angeles was established and exists to advance the celebration of Photography through a variety of events and programs designed to inspire and invigorate the photography professional, enthusiast, emerging professional and collector.
Month of Photography's two-fold mission is to advance dynamic programming designed to engage and stimulate the photography community, as well as to present a comprehensive resource of exhibitions and events in April.
Through Pro'jekt LA, MOPLA's very own projection series, photography will be projected on walls and outdoor spaces of Los Angeles.
An official MOPLA event—Connections is a media presentation by Visura curated by Scott Thode. Part of Pro'jekt LA—the show will explore how we connect to everything around us. It can be about human connections, environmental connections, connections to objects, connections to animals, in other words, connections to just about anything and everything.
