We host themed photo events, exhibitions, and workshops in unique spaces and renowned art institutions.

We're committed to breaking down the barriers that often prevent emerging and underrepresented artists from participating in the creative community.

MANIFEST 2025: An Annual fstop504 Group Exhibition

fstop504 is excited to announce our second annual group exhibition, MANIFEST, coinciding with PhotoNOLA Festival. The exhibition opens December 13, 2025 at Fourth Wall and runs through February 2, 2026. This year’s show was curated by Matthew Weldon Showman, Partner and Director of Ferrara Showman Gallery, Richard McCabe, Photography Curator at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and Joliet Morrill, President and Founder of fstop504. MANIFEST showcases the diverse talents of the fstop504 community, featuring editorial-style shoots with models from our events, as well as members' landscape, nature, and architectural photography. The collection highlights both collaborative event work and independent projects, demonstrating the breadth of creative expression within our community and how fstop504 has influenced each artist's evolving practice.

In addition to the exhibition, we're inviting our community of photographers, models, and the general public to participate in a collaborative photoshoot. One room will showcase the exhibition, while the other becomes an interactive space where you're invited to shoot and be photographed. This is the chance to see our community in action.

The theme is Curated Affair. This is your moment to dress your gallery best. Pull out that outfit sitting in your closet that you haven’t found a reason to wear. Whether you're stepping in front of the camera or behind it, treat this as your excuse to get dressed up and make an impression.

Come party with New Orleans photography nonprofits, fstop504, and New Orleans Photo Alliance, Saturday night. Connect with fellow photographers, artists, curators, and models while discussing your favorite PhotoNola Festival exhibitions over drinks. Help us raise money, there will be a raffle to help raise money for both organizations.

Fourth Wall will have its bar open, serving cocktails and drinks throughout the evening.
