Art Now: Photography

Art Now: Photography is the sixth annual exhibition in the Ann Arbor Art Center's Art Now series. This exhibition welcomes artists who employ traditional photography techniques as well as artists who move across disciplines and push the boundaries of what defines contemporary photography, including hybrid processes, mixed media, and installation.

This call for entry is open to any artist over the age of 18 who currently resides in the US. Artists may submit up to three images per $35 entry in any combination of individual artwork or detail images. Artworks must have been created within the past three years and not previously shown in any other Ann Arbor Art Center exhibitions. There are no restrictions on artwork dimensions. The jurying process is anonymous; however, artists are encouraged to submit a bio and CV as separate .doc or .pdf documents labeled using the format: Lastname_Firstname_Bio and Lastname_Firstname_CV. All entries must be submitted digitally. Submission fees are non-refundable.

Awards include: $500 Janet Gallup Award for Best in Show, $200 Second Place, and $100 Third Place. The juror is Eleanor Oakes, a photographic artist and Assistant Professor of Photography at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Exhibition dates are Friday, April 3 through Saturday, May 2.
