18th Annual Alameda on Camera

Alameda on Camera is an annual, juried event conducted throughout the City of Alameda.  For 48 hours, beginning 9:00pm Friday and ending 9:00 pm Sunday, 48 photo-based artists roam the City of Alameda and capture images of neighborhood, favorite places, secret hideaways and, if they choose, spotlight families, friends and famous (and infamous!) town characters.

How Alameda on Camera works
  • Beginning in late November, Frank Bette Center for the Arts begins to remind the artistic community about the upcoming Alameda on Camera.
  • Potential entrants can visit the Bette to pick up or download that year's Schedule, Prospectus, and Application. The application process has a deadline.
  • As part of the application process, photographers submit images to the Alameda on Camera selection committee.
  • From these submissions, 48 photographers are selected by the jury to participate in the annual  event.
  • At a Friday evening reception at the Center each artist chooses from a hat one of 48 sections of the map of Alameda. This section is the area within which the artist has 48 hours to photograph. 
  • Photographers shoot images within their area boundaries area for the next 48 hours.
All “photo-based” artwork media and techniques are welcome. An exhibit of work is on display at the Center.
