Visions of Nature: Contemporary Views in Alternative Photographic Techniques

Call Type: Photography
Eligibility: International
State: New Mexico
Fee: $40.00 (Visions of Nature $40 for up to 5 images)
Entry Deadline: 7/7/21
Apply through CaFE: https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=8938
Event Dates: 8/7/21 – 10/2/21

In this time of isolation and uncertainty, nature became a refuge for many, a new experience for some and a muse for others.  This exhibition welcomes work utilizing alternative photographic techniques referencing nature. Nature is defined loosely. Any aspect of the natural world can be referenced: plant, animal (including humans), the imaginary etc.  Artists are asked to consider how their relationship with the natural world has been altered in recent years. Have external constraints shifted your images and your choice of processes?  

Digital photographic images can be used in combination with other processes, but straight digital prints will not be accepted.  3D and experimental work is encouraged.  Light Art Space invites LBGTQ, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and self-identifying artists of color – historically under-represented artists working in the visual arts – to submit.
