Color Burst: A Picture Show

Black Box Gallery is hosting a color photography juried group photo show. The exhibition explores how contemporary photographers use color in landscape, portraiture, architecture, fashion, street, abstract, documentary, still life, narrative, conceptual, nature, and night photography.

Juror Todd Johnson is the founder and director of Black Box Gallery. He holds an MFA in Photography from the San Francisco Art Institute and has served as a portfolio reviewer for Photolucida and juror for The Drawers Program at Blue Sky Gallery. Johnson has worked as an independent photography curator in Portland and has been a college photography instructor for 15 years. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

The exhibition runs June 1-20, 2019, with an opening reception on Friday, June 7, 6-8:00 pm. The juror will select 24 photographs for exhibition at the gallery and an additional 30 photographs for the online gallery annex. All 54 photographs will be included in a catalog available for purchase on Blurb Books. Entry fee is $35.00. Submissions must include 1-5 images. Black Box Gallery provides free printing, matting, and framing for all selected work. The gallery prints on an Epson Stylus Pro archival inkjet printer on Epson Premium Luster Photo paper in a color-calibrated environment. Selected photographers must provide high-resolution TIFF or JPEG files. Exhibition prints are kept in flat files after the show for future promotion and sales. Black Box Gallery takes a 50% commission on all sales, with 50% going to the photographer. All rights remain with the photographer, and no sale or printing occurs without prior consent. Artists may elect for prints to be for exhibition and promotion only, not for sale.
