Light Sensitive
Celebrating the Art of Handcrafted Prints
Art Intersection presents Light Sensitive, our tenth-annual, international juried exhibition of images created using traditional darkroom, historical, and alternative photographic processes and methods.
In the current takeover of imagery presented on computer screens and the overwhelming volume of digitally printed pictures, the purpose of our Light Sensitive exhibition is to celebrate, promote, and reaffirm the art of handcrafted prints that uniquely belong to the tradition of light sensitive creative processes. Each year we are in search for work that represents creativity, passion, and displays the beauty of these light sensitive processes.

Virtual Light Sensitive
Take a virtual walk through Light Sensitive in the North and South Galleries. We understand it can be difficult for artists and patrons to travel across the country and oceans to be here in person to see the installation, so this virtual walk through presents the amazing and beautiful work of Light Sensitive within the space. We hope you enjoy the virtual gallery walk through. For a more detail view and information about individual pieces in the exhibition, look at the images in the gallery/slideshow below.
