This month, as winter continues to bear down, 1650 Gallery welcomes your artistic take on the theme of Snow and Ice Winter Photography. Whether it’s icicles hanging from the garage or icebergs in Antarctica, snow covered mountains or snowballs in the face, sun on the snow or a snow-covered Buick – 1650 wants images of your world of winter!

The haunting and ethereal beauty of snow and ice is a rite of passage and a grand artistic test for photographers. It challenges their skill in judging exposure and contrast, and it tests their prowess in printing a palette of gleaming whites that dazzles the senses. Those who dare to meet the challenges of the harsh winter elements can be rewarded with one-of-a-kind photographs that are unique and breathlessly beautiful.

So put your snow boots on, grab your St. Bernard and damn the icebergs, full steam ahead! This month at 1650, you are King of Cold as we gather photos for SNOW & ICE: Winter Photography.

We offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit our pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition. We have a variety of frames and mats to choose from.
