Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) announces a call for artists for One, an online photography competition.
“One singular sensation” – what a great song. This call is about images with a single compelling focal point. It could be a person or thing that is alone in the frame, an element of a large grouping that clearly stands out, a field of lilacs with a single bright red rose, a portrait reminiscent of Andrew Wyeth’s “Christina’s World”, or a single shell on a vast beach. Using selective focus you can isolate a single pedestrian from the crowd on a city street.

About Tifton Council for the Arts
Tifton Council for the Arts is located in South Georgia, approximately 2.5 hours South of Atlanta on I-75. TCA is housed in The Syd Blackmarr Arts Center (The Syd), a 120-year-old architectural treasure that was originally the Methodist Church. The building was the first brick church built in the community. It brought a refined elegance at the turn of the century to the growing rural town.
Today “The Syd” is operated by the Tifton Council for the Arts Board of Directors and Volunteer Guild. It serves as a cultural anchor for downtown Tifton and provides regular arts, education, and cultural programming to people of all ages and interests.
