Get Your Camera Ready: Philly Photo Day is October 28th

A year ago, the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center (PPAC) celebrated its first anniversary by having Philly Photo Day. The idea was that anyone in Philadelphia could take a picture of anything, all on the same day and send it to the PPAC. The event proved to be a huge success with PPAC reviving over 300 photographs from Philadelphians everywhere.

Now, to celebrate their second anniversary, PPAC is doing it again! Friday, October 28th is the day for the second annual Philly Photo Day. Go out and take a picture with your camera, phone, computer, whatever and send it to the PPAC. Every single picture they receive will be printed and then put on display at the PPAC’s gallery in the Crane Arts Building from November 10 to the 19th. There will even be an opening reception for the exhibit that will take place on Thursday, November 10th from 6-9pm.

According to the PPAC, “Philly Photo Day celebrates photography as an art form and Philadelphia as a subject. For Philadelphia, this will serve as a diverse record of the city, through the eyes of its community members, at one moment in history.”

So on October 28th go out and take a picture in the city that we all love so much. And maybe you can show a side of Philadelphia that has never been seen before.
