Current photography events include the following:
Christ Church Cathedral: Gallery South Open Call: closes April 1, 2020
Artists are invited to submit works of urban and rural landscapes in the Greater Cincinnati area that, through the intelligence and creative spirit of the photographer, showcase scenes that are typically overlooked or seen as mundane to the busy passerby. Email nkymikephillips@gmail.com for more information.
Clifton Cultural Arts Center Open Call: closes June 6, 2020
CCAC invites artists to submit works that explore the theme of Third Place – third places are described as an anchor of community life such as a park, church, library, gallery, etc. This exhibition asks artists and viewers to consider both the literal, using and manipulating light through the use of photography, and the figurative, how third places enlighten us and encourage us to lighten up. Email ThirdPlaceCCAC@gmail.com for more information.
Xavier University Art Galleries Open Call: closes May 15, 2020
Light has the power to give meaning to anything and everything, presenting the photographer with infinite opportunities to capture images that evoke emotion. Light, whether natural or artificial, full, gradated or contrasted with its absence to reveal darkness must be felt by the photographer as well as the viewer. Artists are invited to submit up to five photographs that interpret the Light Matters theme of the exhibit – How will you make light visible for the 2020 FotoFocus Biennial? Email localeyescincy@gmail.com for more information.
