PH21 Gallery: Call for Entries - Stories

Calls for Submissions - Photography Photo Gallery

STORIES. A juried international photography exhibition. July 9–29, 2015. Exhibit in Europe! Photographs are often associated with the capturing of a moment frozen in time. Nevertheless, photography has always been a sensitive storytelling medium as well. Looking at a photograph may allow for understanding much about the past that led up to the captured moment; it may also enable the viewer to imagine the possible futures evolving from the frozen record of the here and now. Photographers portraying people, objects, and places can tell us inspiring stories, provided that we take the time to study and interpret the photographs. A narrative told with a single image is a most exciting challenge for both photographer and viewer alike. Hopefully we appreciate these works with the care and curiosity they deserve. After our very successful Stories exhibition in 2014, this year PH21 Gallery invites photographers again to submit their work for a group exhibition themed Stories. We are looking for submissions from all photographers who think that their submitted images tell us a story, and would like to share their work with a wider international audience through the exposure of PH21 Gallery. The theme is broadly construed; it may be expressed visually on personal or social levels, literally or in abstract, symbolic ways. Stories can be told about persons, communities, objects, and places as well. Indeed, we are interested in all possible creative photographic interpretations of the theme. Submission deadline: June 7, 2015.

Call For Submissions - Focus: Grayscale

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Photography Art Gallery

A juried group photo show on black and white photography. There is often a classic, nostalgic and dynamic translation to black and white photography. Black and white has an important tradition of luminous, well-crafted and thoughtfully composed imagery. Contemporary photographers are involved in this dialog of history and tradition, but with their own modern voice, visions and aesthetics of imagery. Juror: Lauren Henkin. Henkin's work is focused on the tension between preservation and extinction as told through the American landscape.

BLACK & WHITE - National Juried Art Show NYC

Calls for Submissions - Acrylic Art Organization

We are excited to announce our second Black & White National Juried art show, opening August 1, 2015. This year, we are privileged to have another of NY's art elite as our juror, Christiane Paul, Adjunct Curator of Media Arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art. $3000 in cash prizes will be awarded, including $1000 Best in Show Gold. The exhibit runs Aug 1 - Aug 23, 2015. We bathe in the beauty of color and spin thousands of words describing the experience that the cone cells transmit to our brain. In reality, they are not nearly as numerous as our rods, the cells that register light and dark, the black and white of our experience. Our rods are less articulated in language; fewer words are generated to describe that experience. Black and white is primal, the underneath, the foundation, of the opulence of color; black and white is where we register motion and, when the cones do not have sufficient light, our rods optimize our survival in the night woods. Black and White intends to explore this underground of survival and few words. Ours is a truly unique gallery—a massive Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY. Its enormous space affords us the opportunity to exhibit really huge work, and we welcome it. This call for submissions is open to all residents of the U.S. and its Territories 18 years of age or older. This is a juried exhibition for artists working in all traditional and non-traditional 2-D and 3-D media, including film/video when part of an installation. All work should be non-utilitarian in nature. This is a fine art exhibition.

The competition is open to all artists 18 years of age or older expressing themselves with any two-dimensional still medium. e.g., Painting, Drawing, Photography, Digital Art, Collage, Flat Fiber Art, etc .
