‘From Our Streets’ is a collection of images that elevates street photography by using clean, funny, moody images that tell a story. This gallery features three local photographers; Tyler Gajewski, Char Brandis, and Billy Hintz with the rest of the gallery showcasing images from our greater community that were selected through an open submission and a blind judging process.

from our streets
As a way to offer the opportunity for any community member to showcase their art, we wanted our 2024 gallery to include an open submission process that was truly accessible, and that eliminated barriers for entry such as no entry fee, no costs to printing/framing admitted art, and no costs to attending the opening gallery night event.
zine on sale now
In total, we had 168 images submitted from 58 photographers from around the state, providing so much great work to look through! Our gallery highlighted 18 artists whose work showcases their interpretation of street photography. In this zine, we included at least one image from each photographer that submitted work. We feel this community is too great to not share such amazing art!
Opening Night & fundraiser
The From Our Street Gallery celebrated its opening at Photo Opp on October 19th. We were thrilled to welcome over 180 community members in celebrating the incredible work of local photographers and the vibrant artistic community we have here in Appleton.
Together we raised $12,000 to support Photo Opp’s 2025 programming, thank you! We loved seeing everyone come together to explore the stories behind the images and support the arts in our community. Together we are fostering creativity and offering access to resources, we help visual storytellers connect, grow, and share their work with the world.
Thank you to community members who submitted work to the gallery, our eight jurors who donated time & talent, our gallery sponsors, and to everyone who volunteered their time and energy to make From Our Streets gallery and zine possible.
We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors for supporting ‘From Our Streets’ and helping us showcase local talent. Your generosity empowers artists and enriches the community through visual expression.
