On April 21, ImageCentral opened its Annual Spring Exhibition, a much-anticipated show that this year highlights the works of more than 25 emerging and established photographers from the Bay Area. Begun in 1987, this seasonal exhibition brings together film and digital photographers whose images display a wide range of contemporary photographic styles.
“It’s a wonderful collection of landscape, portrait, architecture, nature and event photography,” says ImageCentral director Frederick Watkins.

The show runs until Friday, June 6, and admission is free of charge. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on Saturday, April 26, from 2pm to 5pm. Guests will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite photograph as part of the People’s Choice competition.
ImageCentral, which boasts two gallery spaces, is located at 1099 E St., Hayward. Lower Gallery hours are Monday evenings, 5pm to 9pm; Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11am to 2pm; and by appointment. Upper Gallery hours are Mondays through Fridays, 11am to 4pm.
ImageCentral offers photographic and visual arts classes, workshops, memberships and events through the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (H.A.R.D.).
