Americans: Who are we? What do we look like? Where do we live, study, work?

The Rankin Arts Photography Center (RAPC) at Columbus State University, Columbus, Ga., is looking for photographs, made since November 8, 2016, that confirm or challenge preconceptions about Americans. Send us humble family snapshots, revolutionary portraits, anything in between. Photographers may use any analog or digital gear or process.

Eligibility: All photographers regardless of age or skill level.

Fee: $35 for up to 3 images, $5 for each additional image up to 10.

Juror:

Paula Tognarelli is the Executive Director and Curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography. The Griffin Museum of Photography, located in Winchester, outside Boston, Massachusetts, is a nonprofit photography museum whose mission is to promote an appreciation of photographic art and a broader understanding of its visual, emotional and social impact. The museum houses 3 galleries and maintains 5 satellite gallery spaces and several virtual on-line galleries as well.  Ms. Tognarelli is responsible for producing over 60 exhibitions a year at the Griffin and its surrounding satellite spaces. She has juried and curated exhibitions internationally, is a regular participant in national and local portfolio reviews, and has been a panelist and featured speaker at photography events and conferences including MacWorld and Color Connections.

Exhibition Details: 40-50 Selected images will hang in the Center’s main gallery space for approximately three weeks. Selected images must be framed (24”max. longest side) in simple black metal or black wood frames,with white mat or border and wire on the back, ready to hang. RAPC reserves the right to reject any piece not framed to these standards. Be sure to include a prepaid shipping label so that we can ship your print back to you when the exhibit closes. Optional: To avoid framing and shipping costs & headaches, RAPC’s master printer will print your photographs for you upon acceptance. For $25 per image, we’ll print on archival cotton rag paper (up to 17×22” paper size) and after the show either return the print to you ($15 additional for shipping) or add it to the RAPC’s flat file for future access to collectors. If you choose this option, RAPC will frame your images at no charge, using our selection of 16×20 & 18×24 black woodframes.

Sales: RAPC encourages sales during exhibitions, with artists receiving 100% of the sale price.

Copyright: Artists retain all copyrights to their own images. Artists whose work is chosen for Americans grant RAPC permission to use their images for promoting the exhibition and/or its programs. Images may be published on social media, with attribution, for promotion and features. Artists grant usage as stated without further compensation.

Lodging/Transportation: RAPC does not provide lodging or transportation for artists participating in the exhibition. However, there are several hotels within walking distance of our gallery in Uptown Columbus, Ga. and we will be happy to make suggestions to those juried into the exhibit.
