Help us kick off 2027 programming with the return of Bingo at Candela! This time, we’re looking to our favorite commodified February holiday for the open call prompt.

Cheek to Cheek explores intimacy through touch, gesture and form. For this call, we are looking for interpretations of touch and fresh takes on the photographic tradition of the nude – particularly, the beloved bottom.

Candela Photographic Arts is excited to announce the open call of our sixteenth annual summer open call, UnBound16!. The resulting group show featuring the work of 50+ juried and invited artists from across the contemporary photographic landscape.
