Photowork 2017: 30th Annual National Juried Photography Exhibition

Photowork 2017 is the 30th Annual National Juried Photography Exhibition presented by Dutchess County Art Association and Barrett Art Center. The exhibition will run from January 21 through March 3, 2017, at Barrett Art Center, 55 Noxon Street, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601, with an opening reception on January 21st. The theme is reinvention, celebrating photography's role as fine art and social commentary through a juxtaposition of traditional styles and cutting-edge practices.

The exhibition will be juried by Isaac Diggs (photographer, School of Visual Arts faculty), Rebecca Morse (Associate Curator, Wallis Annenberg Photography Department, LACMA), and Robert Stevens (former Photo Editor, Time Magazine, School of Visual Arts faculty). Each juror will select ten images and award a juror's prize. The 25-30 works with the highest cumulative ranking from all three jurors will also be included. Cash prizes will be awarded and announced at the opening reception; artists need not be present.

Entry deadline is November 15, 2016. Notifications will be sent December 1-2, 2016. Selected works are due January 4-6, 2017. Entry fee is $40 for the first three images plus $5 for each additional image (members of DCAA/BAC pay $30 plus $5 per additional image). Submissions should include 3-8 images. Work must have been completed within the last four years and must not exceed 36 inches on the longest dimension. Work previously exhibited at DCAA/Barrett Art Center is not eligible, and student projects are not eligible. Accepted artwork must be properly mounted, framed, and ready to hang. Images of accepted works will be retained by DCAA/BAC for publicity and documentation purposes. For sales, Barrett Art Center retains 25% commission for members and 40% for non-members.
