Annual Juried Photography Show

31st Annual Juried Photography Show – 2026

It is that time of the year again. The 31st Annual Juried Photography Exhibit for Fremont photographers will be held from April 4 to May 8, 2026. This year, the month of April is designated as ARTS, CULTURE & CREATIVITY MONTH and the Photography Exhibit will be held in conjunction with the celebration.

The exhibit opening is planned for Saturday, April 4 from 6:00-8:00 pm and photographs selected by the panel of judges will be on display on the first floor of the Fremont Main Library. The event is a joint venture with Fremont Cultural Arts Council (FCAC), the Fremont Photographic Society, and the City of Fremont.

Congratulations to those photographers whose work was selected for this exhibit. We received many more entries than we have space for, which means that some good photos unfortunately didn't make the cut.
