OPEN CALLS

We run a variety of calls for submissions throughout the year.

Exhibitions have always been a core element of the resources available to our community. We’re thrilled to have a number of exciting opportunities lined up and we’re looking forward to seeing your submissions.

“World Building” @ Superfine! NYC (April) & Sluice_ Seyðisfjörður (May) 2025

This exhibit will be displayed in 3 different locations this Spring. 

  • Superfine NYC! April 24-27th

  • BCD Gallery April 29 - May 15th

  • Sluice_ Seyðisfjörður, Iceland May 22-25th

For the World Building theme, we are seeking images that depict the world you want to build, the world you want to live in, or conversely, the world see in this current moment. What are your visions of the future? Optimistic or dystopian we welcome the juxtaposition. Participants are encouraged to submit analog or digital photographs. For this exhibit, we will accept AI images submissions, but they must be captioned with the prompt and the platform that was used to generate them, as that is an integral part of the piece. 

The submission deadline: Friday, April 4, 2025 at 11:59pm. If your work is selected, the exhibition fee will be due before Wednesday, April 9, 2025.

Psychedelics @ SXSW 2025

We’re going to SXSW and we want to bring you! Our friends at Satellite Art Show have secured a 10 acre ranch & have invited us to do an outdoor installation the likes of which we’ve never done before!

For this exhibit images will be printed on 2x5’ sheets of translucent vinyl and stretched over backlit frames such that they’re fully visible after dark and glowing during the day. Each frame will display between 1-10 images per side.

We’re looking for your trippiest photographs. Film, digital, experimental, photograms, if it’s photo based we want to see it. Images must be a result of light being captured on a surface and can not be AI generated. Whether accidental or meticulously planned we want photographs that will enhance our viewers experience and take them on a wild journey through their own minds.

Submission Deadline: February 6, 2025

Exhibition Dates: March 5-10, 2025
