Exhibition

April 16 to May 31, 2025

Imperfect Order is a collaborative exhibit by four street photographers: Jae Ryan, Chelsea Ker, Ariela Badenas, and Ian Heffernan. It does not follow a big story or fixed message, nor does it aim to separate one artist from another. Instead, it presents everyday moments and places them in one continuous sequence — inviting the viewer to discover the ways in which the images relate to each other when placed side by side. 

How much of what we see is planned, and how much just happens?


We are grateful for the generosity of our friends at The Pleasant for hosting our event and Beau Photo for sponsoring our prints.

Closing Reception & Photo Walk

Come join us for the closing night on Saturday, May 31st at 7pm until late. It's the last chance to see the exhibit, so we’re celebrating before we take it down at the end of the night. 

If the weather’s on our side, we’re also doing a casual photo walk at 5pm, meeting at Olympic Village Square. Everyone is welcome! Please bring your favourite camera and DM any one of us on Instagram so we can keep you posted.

 

Panel Discussion

April 27, 2025

1 - 3 PM

Free, no registration neccessary

Food and drink available for purchase


In this informal artist talk – moderated by fellow photographer Geoff Brown – we’ll discuss the process of curation among peers, collaboration, and making art accessible to the public — encouraging others to share their work in nontraditional spaces. By embracing chance, context, and community, we hope to inspire more artists to exhibit their work in an open, low-barrier way.

This event is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival Participating Events Program. For more information about Capture, please visit https://capturephotofest.com/.
