The artworks were selected by a volunteer jury comprised of accomplished fine artists who reviewed the submitted images and selected work for exhibition.

As part of a large scale renovation project throughout the Tallahassee International Airport, the Artport Gallery has been relocated to new area, near the ticketing counters. Photofest 2016 will be the first exhibition in the new gallery space which is larger and will accommodate even more artwork by local artists. Additionally, improved lighting and digital signage has been incorporated into the newly constructed area.

A free, public reception is scheduled for Friday, November 18^th from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm. This event will serve not only as the awards announcement for the Photofest 2016 exhibition but also as the official unveiling of the newly renovated Artport Gallery. Guests are asked to park in short-term parking and present parking tickets at the gallery for complimentary validation.

The exhibition continues through February 20, 2017 and is one of many rotating exhibitions curated by the Council on Culture & Arts on behalf of the City of Tallahassee as part of the Art in Public Places program.
