BLOSSOM FEVER 

A Community Photo Exhibition

About This Series

Everyone loves cherry blossoms in DC — and we all see them in our own way. This community photo call is for everyone.

Blossom Fever is a two-week projection exhibition at Dupont Underground featuring cherry blossom photographs taken by DMV residents. No professionals required. No aesthetic agenda. Just your blossoms, your neighborhood, your eye.

Selected photos will be projected on the 300-foot projection wall of Dupont Underground’s historic reclaimed trolley station during the first two weekends of April 2026


Applications due by 11:59 pm, March 15, 2026.

How to Submit — Three steps to get in.
