Call for Entries + Exciting Juror Announcement
We are pleased to announce a call for entries for our upcoming juried exhibition, Manipulated.
Manipulated is an open call for entries of photo-based works which have been altered by the artist’s physical hand at any point in the process of its creation. All content and photographic media is acceptable — alternative processes, traditional black and white, and/or digital methods, as long as the actual hand of the artist has been employed to manipulate either the negative, the print, or both. Images which have been altered using digital methods are welcome, but only when utilized in addition to physical hand manipulation.
We are thrilled and honored to bring on Ariel Shanberg as our juror for Manipulated. Shanberg is the executive director for The Center for Photography at Woodstock. Read a bit more about our juror, from The Center for Photography at Woodstock’s web site:
