PLANT LIFE
ENTRY DEADLINE - APRIL 1
EXHIBITION DATES - MAY 5 - 26, 2023

To view the simple emergence of a blossoming plant or the abundance of flowers in full bloom is a refreshing sight as springtime arrives. The spring season of renewal brings a wide range of flora growing and flourishing after a long winter. The Plant Life exhibition will feature photographs from a wide variety of plant species that are grown year around and appreciated in our lives. Capturing the aesthetics of botanicals through creative photography is a visual appreciation that fulfills our innate sense of beauty. As we celebrate plant life in all its forms, all photographic interpretations are welcome for exhibition; images of flowers and plants from subtle to bold, whether captured through still-life photography or through exploration of nature photography approaches.
Each photograph will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each artist. Theme based entries are not necessary. A brief artist statement is optional.
