Community Print Hang / Photo Swap

See your work on the walls of MCASD — free of charge. Swap prints & connect with creative community.

Friday, March 27, 2026
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (La Jolla)

Be part of a one-of-a-kind, community-powered exhibition co-hosted by Medium Photo and Camera Exposure + Safelight Labs — featuring you.

Photographers of all levels are invited to install a print on the walls of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and take part in a collaborative exhibition during the Medium Festival of Photography.

Arrive early to claim your spot on the wall, stay to swap prints, connect with fellow photographers, and celebrate the creative community.

What to Expect

As Festival attendees enter, they’ll encounter a dynamic, evolving Community Exhibition — a salon-style installation of original photographs contributed by participating artists.

Each artist will display one print alongside an information card including their name, artwork title, and contact or social media details — creating opportunities for connection, visibility, and potential sales.

Your work will remain on view throughout the Festival weekend.
