The Northport Arts Association is hosting its ninth annual Northport Photo Exhibit, launching Memorial Day weekend with a free opening reception on May 23, 2026, at its gallery in Northport, Michigan. The exhibit runs through June 14 and features over 100 framed photographs from professional and emerging photographers across Michigan and beyond, with categories judged on impact, lighting, storytelling, and technical quality. Awards include Best of Show, a new anonymous donor award called 'Dem Der Eyes,' People's Choice, and four category prizes.
This annual event highlights the role of local arts organizations in fostering community engagement and supporting both amateur and professional photographers. By offering free admission, public voting for the People's Choice Award, and a diverse range of photographic styles, the exhibit makes visual art accessible to a broad audience and strengthens Northport's cultural identity as a creative destination along Grand Traverse Bay.
