In Plain Site: Free Outdoor Photography Exhibit in Alameda (May 9–June 1)

A Photography Festival For A Climate Positive Future

In Plain Site photography exhibit is a visual journey into our future. This free, three-week outdoor exhibition transforms Radium Runway on the Alameda Point shoreline into an open-air gallery, showcasing stunning collections from both international and local photographers. Through powerful imagery, the event illuminates the pathways to a more climate-positive world.

In Plain Site is a call to action—an invitation to explore the urgent realities of sea-level rise and climate change through the lens of photography.
