L.A. Photo Curator -‘The “I” – A Call for Self Portraiture’ curated by Ellen Friedlander
“For however dutifully we record what we see around us, the common denominator of all we see is always, transparently, shamelessly, the implacable ‘I.’”
~ Joan Didion
By turning the camera onto ourselves we are able to share the most intimate examination of the human condition. Perceptions of reality are shaped by personal experiences.
At what point does inner turmoil and emotion bubble over into everyday life?
Is a self-portrait a depiction of what one feels, one’s self concept or one’s desire to be seen? Examine the role of “I” without any preconceived notions of what a self portrait should be.
20% of artist entry fees go to charity.
10% of artist entry fees goes to the curator’s choice of charity. Friedlander has chosen The Creation District. The Creation District is an incubator and a safe haven for creation, discovery, activism, daring, and dream-making for Sacramento’s youth and young adults.
Another 10% goes to the first place winner’s choice of charity.
Ellen Friedlander is a Los Angeles-based fine-art and documentary artist who uses a variety of in-camera and post processing techniques to reveal the unpredictable, idiosyncratic, inscrutable nature of the human condition.
Friedlander is an Advisor for Pasadena Photography Artsfor which she curates and hosts for Open Show/Pasadena/East LA.
(Pasadena Photography Arts (PPA) promotes diverse photography projects and panel discussions around the photographic medium by established and emerging photographers worldwide through Open Show and FORUM virtual events.)

Call for Artist Submissions: Crocker Art Museum Art Auction Season 2022
The Crocker Art Museum is looking for artists to submit works for the upcoming Art Auction Season– a highly anticipated Sacramento tradition. Last year’s virtual and in-person auctions drew an incredible audience of more than 3 million viewers and 1,000+ bidders from around the world. This can be attributed to the high-quality art contributed by regionally and nationally recognized artists and using an online platform that reaches the broadest possible audience.
The success of these auctions is due to the collective generosity of artists near and far, and we are excited to see what works are submitted for both the Art Auction and Big Names, Small Art (BNSA). To participate in what has truly become an international event, follow the submission instructions below.
Art Auction features a silent auction open to a global audience on Bidsquare, as well as an in-person Live Auction Event. Artists whose works are selected will be included in a special exhibition at the Crocker—on view May 26 to June 4, 2022—and be featured prominently in an Art Auction catalogue distributed to more than 10,000 households. Artists may choose to keep 50% of the proceeds from the sale of their work or donate 100% of the sale to the Museum. All artists donating 100% will receive recognition of the donation in the Art Auction catalogue and a complimentary Family level membership.
Big Names Small Art (BNSA) draws a large audience of new and seasoned art collectors. The event features a silent auction of small-scale pieces (all 12 x 12 inches or less). Each bid begins at $25, regardless of the work’s market value, which creates an environment of fast-paced, friendly competition. All proceeds from BNSA sales benefit the Crocker’s education programs and exhibitions. Artists must be 18 years or older to submit a work.
The silent auction and BNSA will be held virtually on Bidsquare, with bidding scheduled to open in mid-May and to close the weekend of June 4–5. In addition, a small selection of artworks will be featured in a socially distanced Live Art Auction Event at the Museum on Saturday, June 4.
Thank you for considering this opportunity. Your support of these events helps the Crocker bring exciting exhibitions and programs to Sacramento.
