Since 2022, Sedona Arts Center has determined an overarching theme for each year’s exhibits and programs. For the 2025-2026 season, the theme will be FACE.

As a verb, the word takes on motion – as to face something or point in a specific direction or to confront or deal with a situation.

AAP Magazine is thrilled to announce its 50th printed issue, dedicated to the theme “Shapes.” They’re looking for the best photographic projects where shape takes center stage—whether as a subtle influence or the main subject.

A shape is the form or outline of an object. Think circles, triangles, hexagons, silhouettes, or abstract patterns shaped by light and shadow. From architecture to portraiture, landscape to street photography, classic or experimental, all genres are welcome.

As Henri Cartier-Bresson said: “The rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography.”

Send your best work—preferably in series—and show how you compose the world through shape.

The Distance of Blue explores the ocean as a metaphor for longing, displacement, and transformation. Inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s The Blue of Distance, this exhibition embraces blue as the color of the unreachable, the in-between, and the threshold between memory and the unknown. By engaging with the ocean’s vastness, power, and mystery, the exhibition seeks to blur the lines between natural and artificial, familiar and foreign, past and future. Artists are invited to reflect on themes of distance, memory, technology, and nature, questioning how digital interpretations of the ocean reshape our understanding of belonging and change.
