Ordinary Magic: A Photography Exhibition
Calling all South Bay Art Association photographers! Join us for this exciting photography exhibition
celebrating the beauty hidden in everyday life. This exhibition focuses on small, often overlooked moments - light through a window, quiet gestures, familiar streets, and fleeting expressions. Through careful observation and timing, the photographs reveal how the ordinary can become extraordinary when truly seen. Rather than grand events, the work highlights intimacy, simplicity, and the subtle magic that exists in routine moments, inviting viewers to slow down and find wonder in the world around them.
All photographic processes are welcome including digital, film, cyanotype, pinhole, drone, alternative process. AI generated work is not permitted.
This exhibition will be held at Brewport Coffee House in Bellport. Due to the nature of our shared public satellite gallery spaces, all artwork is subject to final approval by the Exhibitions Committee to ensure an appropriate fit for the venue.

This exhibition will be held at Brewport Coffee House in Bellport. Due to the nature of our shared public satellite gallery spaces, all artwork is subject to final approval by the Exhibitions Committee to ensure an appropriate fit for the venue.
