Black and White, a National Juried Exhibition of Photography
Entries Due: May 19, 2025
There is something so timeless about a black and white photo. It distills the lighting and gives the subject matter no room to hide. Your eyes aren’t drawn around by bright flashes of color, so you take it all in. And because of this, black and white photos can convey rich emotional truths and highlight the skill it truly takes to make a beautiful photographic composition. This June we want to dedicate all of our gallery walls to Black and White photographs. The photos can be printed or mounted in any way you want and can be small or large in size. The only rule is nothing other than Black and White printing can be used (no sepia tones), and the medium MUST be photography.
