A Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Photography
Our 9th International Open Call exhibition will open on April 20th as a showcase for contemporary photography as complied by Paula Tognarelli, Curator and former Executive Director of the Griffin Museum of Photography. The work in this exhibition was selected from an international call for entries to present a survey of current photographic practice. This open call was conceived to create a showcase for contemporary photography and we would like to thank everyone who submitted work for consideration. We are excited to be presenting this annual exhibition, providing the opportunity to bring the work of so many new photographers to Providence.
