Heading 1
A word from ShoreLake Arts
The aim of 8X8Photo is to be an open and all-inclusive, community photography exhibit. We will reserve the right to not exhibit any photographs online that aren't suitable.
As we plan for this new online event we are continually thinking of all those we serve: our members; event sponsors; visitors to the website and the photographers. It is our goal to be fair and respectful to all in considering what is displayed.
In the event that a submitted work is declined for exhibition by ShoreLake Arts staff, someone from the office will contact the photographer personally to explain.
THANK YOU
TO OUR
SPONSORS
