Do you have a body of work or a concept for an exhibition that is photography or photography based?  We are looking for compelling solo or cooperative exhibitions to be exhibited in our online gallery.  The entry  can be  photographic images only, photography combined with mixed media, photography as sculpture, photography based installations or…..  This is the fifth iteration of the “photographic performance” and we are hoping once again you can show us what it can be. It is important that the body of work has a conceptual narrative, actual or implied.

Each entry should include:

• 12 to 20 images
• Artist statement
• Bio

We will be selecting four proposals to be featured concurrently on a monthly basis beginning in March, 2024.  Each selected portfolio will receive:

• Online exhibition
• Consultation with gallery directors concerning the project
• GalleryTalk posted in online blog
• Exhibition catalogue including forward by gallery directors, artist statement and exhibition images

In addition to the four entries selected for exhibition, ten additional entries will be selected by gallery directors to receive reviews of their submitted projects.

Entries are due by December 31, 2023.  Entry fee is $75 per proposal.  Jurors for “photographic performance 2024” will be gallery directors, Amanda Smith and Kevin Tully.

Creativity is encouraged.
