Elemental Light National Juried Exhibition

Elemental Light: National Juried Exhibition welcomes entries of photographically-based works showing how light is used in creating images. The exhibition explores photography's essence through light—capturing the play of dust-speckled beams, exploring the graphics of shadows, interpreting moods of the Golden Hour, and translating colors of artificial light. All works must be framed 20 x 24 inches or smaller. This competition is open to national artists and photographers 18 years and older.

Exhibition dates: July 8 – July 30, 2017. Opening reception and awards presentation: Saturday, July 8 from 6-8pm. Juror: Lisa Chalif, Curator at The Heckscher Museum of Art, Huntington, NY. Digital submission deadline: May 15, 2017. Notification of accepted works: June 1. Framed works due at gallery: June 26-30. Works picked up/returned: July 31 – August 4, 2017.

Entry fee: $40 for up to three photographically-based works. Only JPEG images accepted, properly oriented with file names labeled as: LastName#Title#Size (e.g., Smith1Trumpet11x14). Accepted works must be properly framed with bright white solid core mats and white frames (maximum front profile width 1"). All works must be available for the duration of the exhibit and must be for sale. Alex Ferrone Gallery retains 50% commission on works sold; artist receives 50%. Shipping to and from the gallery is the artist's responsibility. Awards include a three-month banner ad on Hamptons.com (valued at $2,400), an 18" x 24" face-mounted acrylic print, a professional tripod, and a $100 gift certificate for framing services.
