Short Description:
VISUAL NARRATIVES; Photographic Center Northwest’s (PCNW) 27th Juried Exhibition
While the theme for PCNW’s call for photographs is open, we encourage artists to submit images that are part of a cohesive body of work. A series of images can tell a story, explore a concept, and evoke certain emotion beyond what a singular image can, ultimately providing deeper insights into the artist’s vision and style. Consider how your images converse; intentionality in the order you choose can really shape how the series is experienced.
The juror will be looking for sequences of images that come together to convey a strong, artistic narrative.
If your work is selected, there will be the following frame size restrictions:
Because the juror will be selecting multiple images, all selected work must be sent to PCNW framed and ready to hang, with the following size guidelines:
Individual frames must be no larger than 11 x 14 inches.
You may either submit multiple images in separate frames (each 11 x 14 inches, or smaller), or group multiple images within a single frame.
If you choose the latter, the overall frame size may be larger to accommodate the grouping.
We understand this format may differ from how you typically present your work, but please keep in mind that the juror will be evaluating the visual flow and relationship between images as part of a cohesive photographic project.
Eligibility:
Professional, mid-career, and emerging artists from all communities are encouraged to submit to this opportunity; all levels of experience and backgrounds are welcome and considered.
