We are excited to announce that our December 2020 online group exhibition, “Love In All Forms”, is being curated by fine art and portrait photographer, Rashod Taylor! To enter, all you need to do is read and respond to the following prompt with your analog photography:

Rashod Taylor writes: 2020 has been a tumultuous year, to say the least. The challenges that we all in some shape or form experience have hit a global scale. All of us have probably experienced the full spectrum of emotions this year. Anger, fear, isolation, and sadness come up more often than not when talking with friends and family. When life is chaotic and things are uncertain I go to photographs. Photographs bring a calmness that brings me back to a place of joy and love. When you photograph what you love, I believe you make your best art. For this month’s online exhibition the theme is “Love In All Forms”. Whatever love means to you I want to see it, feel it, and connect to it. 

We invite you to submit up to two photographs for this exhibition that capture the concept of this theme. We offer no limits to the photographs submitted, other than the fact that they are created with analog film or process. The best of these images will be showcased in an online show curated by fine art and portrait photographer, Rashod Taylor. This online exhibition will go live on our website on December 14th, 2020. Please follow the directions below to complete your submission. Good luck!

The deadline for submissions is November 30th, 2020!
