Deadline to Apply: March 10, 2010
Opening Reception: May 1, 6-10pm

Orange County Center for Contemporary Art
117 North Sycamore
Santa Ana, CA 92701

The meaning of beauty has been debated by philosophers since the time of the Greeks. Courted or scorned, distrusted, devalued, deconstructed, beauty promises pleasure while provoking awe, admiration and even fear. Beauty quickens the pulse. Attention Contemporary Artists! OCCCA is now accepting submissions of artworks representing ideas of the beautiful. Painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, installation, and computer-based New Media projects welcomed. Beauty stirs the understanding, and is the enemy of complacency. Concepts alone can never replace it. Beauty’s provocations are no longer innocent.

Graffiti Mosaics by Luke McGuff

Local Photographer Luke McGuff captures the beauty in what most of us pay little attention to. His Graffiti Mosaics series is a great example of his ability to artistically frame the visual expressions that mark our urban landscape.


Ballard, Seattle May, 2006 Displayed at Ouch My Eye in Pioneer Square during April, as part of their X-ActoMundo show.





Belltown, Seattle 10 September 2006 110"w x 34"h Displayed at Cafe Verite/Cupcake Royale in Ballard.



Airport Way So., Seattle 13 August 2006


"I like the vibrancy and color of graffiti, and its declaration of existence. I think compositing honors the source medium. With this technique, I attempt to add some life and vibrancy of my own."

These pictures were taken beginning April, 2006.

You can see more of Luke's photography at his Flickr site or at his web site.

A Red Carpet call for volunteer photographers

3/22/08 update: Thanks for all the replies we have all the photographers we need for the film festival.

Hey you shutterbugs and Flickrites; the NFFTY film festival is looking for photographers to volunteer for the upcoming film festival at the Seattle Center on March 28^th thru March 30. This will be a fun gig for those of you that enjoy event and people photography. The film festival events that need to be covered range from the opening night Gala to works shops, lectures, after parties and concerts. Lunch, dinner and free passes will be provided as well as parking validation (parking in Queen Anne is a pain, so we've taken care of that for you!)

Despite only being 2 years old the film festival has an impressive list of sponsors and a great deal of media buzz behind it. Your photography will gain a great deal of public exposure and NFFTY will gratefully credit you for your contributions (NFFTY wants the right to be able to use your photos in its promotions).

We are looking for 4 to 6 additional photographers to volunteer to photograph the various events at the festival. Due to the nature of the environments and events there is a preference is for digital photographers using SLRs with a min of 5-6 mega pixels and lens suitable for portrait work to wide angle. The majority of the events are inside so an external hot shoe flash is essential. The photos you’ll be taking will be used immediately in the festival’s marketing, so we’re also looking for photographers savvy with post processing (Camera Raw, Bridge, Lightroom, etc).

If you enjoy photography then you likely already have a digital SLR, a couple of lens, a flash and post process our own images (remember to set your metadata to include your photo credits!). The event will be a great deal of fun and people will be having a great time. As a festival photographers you’ll have free access and no shortage of opportunities to take great photos.

If you’re interested, send me an email for more details.
