GRAPHEMES - INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION
ENTRY DEADLINE - JUNE 1
EXHIBITION DATES - SEPTEMBER, 2022
Open to all U.S. and intermational English speaking photographers.
In the academic world of reading, writing and arithmatic, the classic depiction of the "ABC's and 123's" enters our minds. A traditional challenge for emerging photographers is to put your eye for imagery to the test and go out in the world to shoot interesting compositions of unique found letter forms, whether it is captured from observing natural and manmade shapes, light and shadows or composed from interesting signage. So in an activity to keep your creative thinking sharp now and throughout the summer, go out with your camera and put your eye to the test and find where these hidden letters and numbers reside. In an exclusive selection by Guest Curator Ashley Gonzalez, one of each letter A - Z and number 1 - 9 will be chosen for this upcoming "Graphemes" exhibition held in September as classes resume in the fall. During this time when the subjects of reading, writing and arithmatic returns to our minds, this exhibition will represent the smallest meaningful contrastive unit in our writing system - specifically our native language, English.
Selection will be based upon individual images submitted by each artist.
Selected artists will have their work featured in the exhibition and online.

SELECTIONS ANNOUNCED
EXHIBITION DATES - MAY, 2022
From the roadside diners to the fine dining establishments to the kitchens in our homes, our food system and relationship with food has shifted in this changing world. We look at the behind the scenes of food and what we have at home for food preparation. We've learned how to bake bread, tried new recipes and food trends, we have become reaquainted with our appliances and our cooking skills. We have many more dishes to do, messier kitchens yet more satisying and nutritious meals. Preparing and serving our meals, we go for take out, family members go out to shop for the home table — takes on the real life scenarios, and the somewhat caprecious and gritty side of food preparation. Food styling, assembled still-life shots, photographs using domestic subject matter and commercial kitchen spaces, images of people and places associated with food are what make up the images in this exhibition. All approaches to food and food related photography are welcome, submit photographs for this upcoming exhibition and represent your take on food.

AMERICANA - NATIONAL EXHIBITION
ENTRY DEADLINE EXTENDED - MAY 10
EXHIBITION DATES - JUNE, 2022
Open to all photographers nationally.
From classic cars driving on Route 66 to the suburban sprawl of mid century homes laid out across the country to house the boomer parents post WWII, we look at the retro aesthetic of this pop culture iconography otherwise known as Americana. We look at remnants of the visual clues harkening back to this time through photographs of suburbia, modern architecture and landscape monuments, to the lives lived in homes and towns sprawled over the land, to the five and dime stores and mom and pop joints. Let's take a look back at what remains from this time that represented purely good authenticity.
Selection will be based upon individual images submitted by each artist.
Selected artists will have their work featured in the exhibition and online.
