About This Call
HOME: Absence or Essence is a juried photography and digital art exhibition exploring the concept of home in all its iterations. The theme invites artists to consider home as a place of refuge and comfort, or alternatively as a source of longing, absence, pain, or complexity. Photographers, digital artists, graphic designers, video artists, and other media creators are invited to apply.
The exhibition will run July 12th through August 8th, with an opening reception on Saturday, July 12th. Each juried show consists of 20-24 accepted works featured in a catalog. Specto provides free printing, matting, and framing of all accepted artworks using archival materials and professional color-calibrated printing. Accepted artwork dimensions are 12"x12", 12"x15", 12"x16", or 12"x18"; artists with work outside these parameters should contact the gallery. Awards include $400 for Best in Show and two $50 Honorable Mentions.
Entry fee is $35 for up to 5 images, with each additional image at $7 (maximum 10 entries per artist). Artists may submit 5-10 total samples including photography, digital art, graphic design, video art, and other printable media. Accepted artists will be notified within 3-4 weeks and must provide print-ready files within 7 days. Artists retain copyright of their work and receive 65% of any sales, with Specto taking a 35% commission. After each show, all works are catalogued and archived for continued promotion. Application deadline is June 17th.
