About the Exhibition:
In response to the extraordinary changes occurring in 2020 the Los Angeles Center of Photography (LACP) is partnering with the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) in San Diego to acknowledge the importance of photography and art in capturing historic world events. To that point, LACP and MOPA will co-host a free-to-enter online Salon of Photography, entitled “The Connected World: 2020,” capturing the moments of time in the U.S. and around the world in 2020. The exhibition will both portray the significant changes that COVID-19 has wrought on the worldwide fabric of society, and address the changing consciousness around systemic racism and police brutality worldwide.
Chosen by a jury of highly acclaimed photographers, select images will be featured in a digital gallery both at LACP’s Virtual Fundraising Gala on October 24, 2020 and on LACP’s website. LACP will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the photography auction sales to benefit members of the photographic community adversely affected by the COVID-19 crisis as well as to organizations supporting the end of systemic racism.
Photographs submitted can be documentary, street photos, portraits or conceptual images that address the physical and psychological changes the worldwide community has experienced these past few months.

Julia Dean, Executive Director of LACP, Educator and Photographer
