All Together Now: a look at community
Juried Call for Entries: Jan Howard, Juror
During this pandemic and time of greater reckoning with the inequalities in our society we have never been physically further apart and have had such a great need to come together to face our challenges. Has this time impacted how we think about community and has that impacted current work or the ways in which you see your earlier work? I am interested in the broadest possible thinking about how community might be reflected in your photographic work.
After a year of challenges the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts is accepting entries to address how ideas of how Community are reflected in your photographic practice for an exhibition opening on September 16th. This Call is open to all styles and photographic processes and will be juried by Jan Howard Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs at the RISD Museum.
This Call for Entries has closed, 45 works have been accepted for exhibition.
NOTE: We have had to rescheduled this exhibition and moved it back one month. Artists with accepted entries have until October 16th to deliver work to the gallery. The exhibition will open on October 21st and run through November 12th.
