Instagram Art Gallery, a photography exhibition based on a 25-day competition in which anyone who wished could take photos on their iPhones or androids and hashtag them #ciphotoada. C&I Studio, in turn, would print them and display them in their gallery for a big show that will place Saturday night during F.A.T. Village Art Walk.

Each day of the competition had a specific theme (such as conversation, rain, computer, death, art and first love) and all shots were required to be fresh, taken the day of the challenge.

The resulting show, which runs 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., will feature music by Anthony Alvarez, beer and wine and a chance to see more than 1500 photos. Visitors will be given heart stickers to place on their favorite photos, and the photos can be purchased for a small donation to help out with a Dec. 8 charity event C&I is doing with Crossway Church as part of Help Portrait, a global project where photographers take pictures of families who may not be able to afford family photos, and then deliver the photos to those families.

Instagram Art Gallery runs 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. April 28.
