Yeiser Art Center is currently accepting work for its Art Through the Lens 2015 photography competition – formerly known as Paducah Photo – and inviting photographers around the world to participate. In 2013, Paducah was bestowed the honor of being designated a member of the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Creative Cities Network in the area of Crafts & Folk Art. To embrace both this international honor and reflect the international growth of the exhibition, this year Paducah Photo will take on a new name, Art Through the Lens. Art Through the Lens 2015 is open to all with no restrictions on size or content and offers $2,000 in cash awards. The selected works will be exhibited in the Yeiser Art Center 20th June through 1st August, 2015 and prize winners will be announced during the opening reception.
