STCF Opens This Weekend!

Come by the Nave and Washington St to see 80 gorgeous photos by 56 artists; both galleries will have opening receptions on Saturday, Sept 6!

We’ve got some great Festival programming happening Sept 6-27, including an online event with juror Mary Kocol, in-person workshops, and (maybe, we hope) more!


What’s a toy camera?

Toys have come a long way since we started this Festival in 2013, but our north stars remain the plastic toy cameras that started it all back in the 1960s-70s. For our exhibitions, we welcome photos made with any camera that:

  • shoots film, or exposes images directly onto to photosensitive paper

  • has a plastic lens (or no lens — hello pinhole)

  • offers very minimal (or no) exposure control
