The Santa Monica Pier Centennial Exhibition opening reception is on Friday, March 20 at 6:30PM to 8:30PM. The exhibit will be up until April 18, 2009. Founded in 2002 and modeled after the renowned New York Photo League, the mission of the Los Angeles League of Photographers (LALOP) is to expose the wider public to photography's essential social, political, and aesthetic values while forming a network of working fine art, street and commercial photographers who join together to discuss, debate and review photography, share and critique work, and organize photographic exhibitions about the greater Los Angeles community in all of its diversity.
