The Kids (Not Cute) exhibition started as a National Competition for Photographs and Photo-Based Artwork at Umbrella Arts, New York City. Now images are displayed and show an unconventional vision of kids which is quite refreshing and interesting.

"We want to see your photographs of KIDS, but not cute. Any format, any camera, any style is fine. We are seeking images of KIDS that are a bit unusual and out of the ordinary, not the conventionally cute and sentimental images that are often seen. The photographs can be amusing, interesting, sad, frank and biting. The tone can convey an appreciation for the joys and difficulties experienced by KIDS in the essentially absurd predicament of growing into an adult world. KIDS pictured in environments from home to zoo, from city streets to rural and suburban places, from the neighborhood to the ends of the earth, with or without their fellow man or KIDS are all sought" is what the Umbrella Arts Gallery asked. 

Kids (Not Cute) will be published by the gallery and will be for sale during the exhibition. All rights remain with the photographer.

“Children’s worlds are certainly separate from the looming adults who surround them. Loneliness, fright, even death can face them ... we rarely see photographs showing kids in this light…” ~ Harvey Stein
