Framing Croydon: The Buildings That Shape Us
Want to be featured in an exhibition at Stanley Arts? Send in your photos for ‘Framing Croydon’!
Framing Croydon will celebrate how residents connect emotionally to the architecture of Croydon through their personal photographs and memories. We are inviting you to share photographs of the buildings you love, photos that capture something essential about your your built environment.
These buildings might be famous icons of Croydon’s skyline, or they might be the seemingly unremarkable shops and homes of your local area. You might capture your local sports team in its home, or it might be you and your friends in a place that you love. It might celebrate the buildings that play an important role in your daily life, or buildings you think more people should know about.
Your image could be featured in a future exhibition at Stanley Arts and showcased on our website, and we will select a winner from each of the following categories to be showcased in an upcoming exhibition at Stanley Arts. The winners will also receive 2 free tickets to a Stanley Arts event!
All ages are invited to send in images!
