"Sony World Photography Awards & World Photography NY Events" Exhibition
The Chelsea Art Museum
This event has ended.
Chelsea Art Museum is thrilled to partner with and host the Sony World Photography Awards and the World Photography Organisation (WPO) New York Events. After its highly successful iterations in Shanghai, São Paulo, San Francisco and London, the WPO makes its mark in New York – fittingly in the heart of Chelsea. The Events and Exhibition – which will feature WPO photography competition winners from an open call for both amateur and professional photographers in New York and abroad – celebrates the launch of the exhibition as much as the WPO’s rich history of promoting young students, educators and emerging artists and providing a platform upon which to create, share, and collaborate with one another.
Throughout our rich history, CAM has provided exposure for over 1,000 new and thriving voices of all art disciplines through artist talks, dance performances, musical recitals and more than 150 exhibitions. This project directly supports our mission to deepen and foster new and existing partnerships with other well-established, like-minded cultural institutions such as the London-based WPO, which shares our commitment of highlighting emerging artists in unexpected and groundbreaking ways.
