Columbus Photographer: You are invited to submit work for the Columbus Photographers, 2011 Photography Exhibition, opening in September in Historic Uptown Columbus, Georgia. Photographers living, working or studying in Columbus are eligible. Accepted work will be exhibited in the 2nd floor gallery of Columbus State University’s Rankin Arts Photography Center, 1004 Broadway. You may submit (upload) up to six images, in one of two categories (General Public or Student/Photopia Member) . The entry fee varies, from 30.00-60.00, depending on which category you select. You may pay with a credit card or check. All work must be original, by the photographer, and produced during the last three years. The deadline for entries is midnight, June 30.
Awards: There will be $1000.00 in cash awards, and first, second and third place ribbons. The juror will also make merit awards.
Our distinguished juror is John Lawrence.
John D. Lawrence, Callaway Professor of Art and Design, is the Director of the Lamar Dodd Art Center of LaGrange College where he has established one of the largest college museum collections of twentieth century photography in the Southeast. John is an accomplished photographer, whose photographs are widely exhibited and have been published in two books, Faulkner’s Rowan Oak (1994, University of Mississippi Press) and Travels in Troup County (1996, Troup County Archives). He was the Curator of the 1981 “Artists in Georgia” exhibition, has served on committees for the Georgia Council of the Arts, and as a juror for the 1987 Southeastern Photography Grants awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2005, he was awarded a research grant by LaGrange College to photograph sites specific to St Francis of Assisi. In the Footsteps of St. Francis was held at the Photography Center at Rankin Square in Columbus, Georgia in 2007. In 2009 a retrospective exhibition of his work was presented at the Madison Morgan Cultural Center in Madison Georgia.
Columbus is enjoying a renaissance in creative photography centered around the CSU Rankin Arts Photography Center (RAPC), home of the CSU Digital Photography Certificate Program and the Photopia Photography Group. By Fall of 2011, RAPC will have a new 800 sq. ft. gallery, the first permanent gallery in the city devoted exclusively to exhibiting fine art photography. Columbus Photographers, 2011 will be the inaugural exhibit in this new space. I hope all Columbus area photographers will submit work for this exhibit and join us for the opening.
Sincerely,
Kenny Gray
CSU Digital Photography Program Coordinator
