It is through the ordinary that we are able to recognize the extraordinary or strange. Break down the conventions of beauty and look beyond the traditional to the unusual. Strange Beauty is found in the unfamiliar, evoking wonder and awe. Beauty is found in the unexpected.
The Center invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate in its exhibitions.
To encourage participation by photographers from around the world, the Center offers optional economical printing and framing services.
