| The theme this year is “Hill Community – Photography reflecting the unique community, in
and around Potrero Hill”. Potrero Hill, also known as “Goat Hill” due to its pastoral past, offers great vistas in several directions from the top of the hill, as well as urban and industrial settings on and at the base of the hill. Past and present, “The Hill” has embodied a diverse and creative community and has maintained a strong sense of community through times of tremendous change. Our call seeks to answer the following questions: “How is community created? What continues to make this a special place to live, work, go to school, have a business, make art? Who/what are the icons of our community? How have changes over the years affected our community for better or worse?” We ask photographers to think outside any usual “boxes” they may have placed around the idea of “community” and approach this theme with the unique spirit that is reflective of Potrero Hill. Of course, nocturnal photography is always welcome, but it is not the focus of this call for entries. We will hang the show in July 2006 at Farley’s Café on 18th Street on Potrero Hill. This café has quite a bit of hanging space and is always showing some great art on the walls. Farley’s is a true San Francisco institution and a vibrant part of the Potrero Hill community, as well as a meeting place for writers and artists of all types. Farley’s motto is “Community in a cup” and its many contributions to our community were the initial inspiration for this theme. |
