After Hours Gallery

OCTOBER 17

After Hours will be a collection images that will explore the liminal space between day and night: where mystery, intimacy, rebellion, rest, and revelation reside. From the solitude of midnight streets to the buzz of nightlife, from quiet reflection to secret rendezvous, our After Hours gallery reveals what’s hidden in plain sight after the world stops watching.

This year’s gallery will feature three local photographers alongside selected works from our wider community through an open submission and blind jury process.

This year’s After Hours gallery is our most diverse yet! 264 photos were submitted from 88 artists, more than half came from photographers new to Photo Opp, showcasing the growing reach of our community. With nearly a 50% increase in submissions compared to last year, we’re thrilled to welcome both fresh voices and returning artists to share their work in this year’s exhibition.
