    That said, we are very excited for 2011 and looking forward to rolling out some new features, welcome new members, and engage in new partnerships in the art community.

    Human Artifact - Juried Photography Exhibition

    Calls for Submissions - Oil, Art Gallery

    Have you captured images that show the spaces and things that outfit our personal or private lives? Vermont Photo Space Gallery wants to see these images for an upcoming exhibition titled "Human Artifact." From backyard junkyards to attic hideouts and basement retreats, we mark our territories with the stuff, the evidence, of our lives. The subject matter is a collision of cultural anthropology, pop culture, domesticity, documentary, realism and sentimentality. Look to contemporaries like Roger Ballen, Eugene Richards, and our Juror, Dave Jordano for inspiration. Juror Dave Jordano received a BFA in Photography from the College of Creative Studies in 1974 and has been working as a professional commercial Photographer from his studio in Chicago, IL ever since. It is his fine art and documentary imagery that will compel you to submit your work for jury into "Human Artifact." Jordano has been recording cultural and societal identities extensively, including an ongoing investment into the series "Prairieland" which focuses on rural Illinois. We are proud to offer his experience and insight as your Juror for "Human Artifact."

    Woman as Photographer; Picturing Life as a Woman

    Calls for Submissions - Oil, Art Gallery

    Women have been actively involved with photography since the medium's inception in 1839. The barriers to their participation were lower than in the other arts, and recognition often came faster. Yet women and their photographs have not been as visible as they should have been in view of their numbers and past influence. Only in fairly recent exhibitions and critical writings have women's work in photography received due consideration.This International Call for Entry invites women from around the world to submit photographs that demonstrate a smart, critical take on women with cameras in this day of a more open and subtle notion of gendered identity.Submissions are only limited by your imagination and may cover a broad range of challenging, personal, emotional, and political issues facing women today. Their work-life, home, family, friends, relationships, life partners, homosexual, hetrosexual, politics, equal rights, stereotypes, causes, roles and wishes.Woman as Photographer is juried by Christina Chang, Assistant Curator at the Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis.
