DESCRIPTION:The world’s leading ocean photography exhibition, Ocean Photographer of 
 the Year, comes to the United States for the first time. Step inside a 
 historic World War II airplane hangar at Alameda Point (Alameda, CA) and 
 experience the ocean like never before. Presented by Oceanographic Magazine 
 and Blancpain, this vast industrial space is transformed into an immersive 
 gallery of the world’s most extraordinary ocean photography.\n\nDrawn 
 from more than 15,000 submissions by photographers around the globe, the 
 exhibition features a curated selection of winning and finalist images 
 spanning wildlife, adventure, fine art, conservation, and human connection. 
 From intimate macro encounters to sweeping underwater and aerial 
 perspectives, each photograph captures both the breathtaking beauty of the 
 sea and the urgent need to protect it.\n\nIn addition to the international 
 exhibition, visitors are invited to a series of special events, and to 
 explore Bay Perspectives, a dedicated gallery and interactive space that 
 connects global ocean stories to the waters closer to home. Bay 
 Perspectives features “Edge of the Pacific:  Bay Perspectives,” an 
 exhibition of local ocean photography curated by Jan Watten (Gray Loft 
 Gallery) and Nick Winkworth (Bay Area Photographers Collective). These 
 locally-rooted works highlight the San Francisco Bay, California coastline, 
 and the everyday relationships between community and ocean.\n\nSharing the 
 space, the Sailing Science Center presents hands-on marine science exhibits 
 where visitors can engage directly with ocean processes such as tides, wave 
 formation, and the impacts of marine plastics—deepening understanding 
 through play, inquiry, and discovery. Together, the Ocean Photographer of 
 the Year exhibition and the Bay Perspectives gallery bridge art and 
 science, global perspective, and local experience, inspiring stewardship 
 through both emotional connection and knowledge.\n\nHosted by West End Arts 
 District and partner Bay Photo Lab, exhibition and special events tickets 
 are available at westendartsdistrict.org.\n\nYouth discounts available. 
 Plus, 20% off all tickets if ordered by April 1, 2026.\n
