Congratulations to our College Expo winners, and to all of the artists who exhibited their work! Our winners received cash prizes, and our 1st place winner, Jeff Felderhoff, will have a solo show at next year’s College Expo. A huge shoutout to @apprentice.oakcliff for hosting, and to @veronica_ibarguengoitia_art for serving as our prestigious juror!

500x proudly presents Hadi Asgharpour’s solo exhibition “Caught in the Consequences.” Hadi, our College Expo 2025 Winner, will be showcasing his work coinciding with College Expo 2026 at @apprentice.oakcliff ! “Caught in the Consequences” brings together photographic works that reflect on overfishing, plastic pollution, and the fragile relationship between human life and marine ecosystems. Moving between documentary observation and constructed self-portraiture, these images approach environmental damage as something lived, embodied, and ongoing. In Masquerade of Consequences, the body becomes a site of entanglement, exposing the illusion that humans exist separately from nature. In The Last Haul, fishermen in northern Iran carry out a ritual shaped by labor, memory, and survival, even as environmental change and modernization place that tradition under pressure. Together, these works ask viewers to confront the ecological consequences of human action and the fragile balance between tradition, extraction, and loss.

MEET OUR 2026 COLLEGE EXPO ARTISTS!! Big congrats to our accepted artists. We're grateful to everyone who applied, our juror was blown away by the talent! Shoutout to @veronica_ibarguengoitia_art for being our amazing juror this year and to @apprentice.oakcliff for partnering with us!
