The annual Pushpin Show is a photographic art exhibition for members of the New Orleans Photo Alliance to showcase their work, as well as network. It will take place at the NOPA Gallery on 7800 Oak St. Participating members will be able to use pushpins provided by NOPA to pin their work onto a wall in the gallery for others to see.
Members can pin their work on April 1 and April 2 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on April 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A reception for the show will take place on Saturday, April 3, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and, for safety, masks will be required and no more than 10 people are allowed in the gallery at any time.
There will also be a sidewalk sale during the reception. This will include NOPA's own collection, as well as local vendors' original photos, photography equipment, photography books, or other photo-related products.
