Open Call: March 9th – 30th

Exhibition Dates:  Aug. 23rd – Nov. 19th, 2021

What we love, who we love and how we love are an integral part of the human experience. No two people do all these things the same way. Expressing feelings of love in art is universally relevant to all. With “Love Languages” we aim to feature some of the infinite ways in which people express love and redefine the binary of what love can look like.

For the Fall 2021 1628 art exhibition featuring Love Languages, we are looking for artists working in the medium of photography: digital and traditional. Our gallery has multiple large walls that would be ideal for photography installations. Submissions of large-format works or collections of photographs are encouraged. Generally, individual works submitted need to be minimally 18” x 24” for consideration.  Other acceptable submissions include: mix media work with strong elements of photography incorporated, personal archive photographs, and photographic work translated through another medium (cyanotypes, CMYK prints, etc).  

Deadline to submit is Tuesday, March 30th. Final decision will be made by April 15th.
