Focus: Black and White

Black Box Gallery is hosting a Black and White juried group photography exhibition. The show seeks a diversity of photographic works exploring black and white imagery, which offers classic, nostalgic, and dynamic qualities. Contemporary photographers are invited to engage with the tradition of luminous, well-crafted, and thoughtfully composed black and white photography while bringing their own modern voice and aesthetics.

The juror is Todd Johnson, founder and director of Black Box Gallery, who holds an MFA in Photography from the San Francisco Art Institute and has extensive experience as a portfolio reviewer and independent curator. The exhibition runs August 1-25, 2024, with 24 photographs selected for physical exhibition at the gallery and an additional 30 photographs selected for the online gallery annex. All 54 photographs will be included in a catalog available for purchase on Blurb Books.

Black Box Gallery provides free printing, matting, and framing for all selected works. Prints are produced 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 the gallery's flat file after the show for future promotion and sales. Black Box Gallery takes a 50% commission on all sales, with 50% going to the photographer. Artists may elect for their print to be for exhibition and promotion only, not for sale. Entry fee is $40. Photographers may submit 1-5 images. The deadline is July 12, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. MDT. Open to international photographers.
