Exhibit Around - Collectible Shots

Exhibit Around APS, in collaboration with dotART Cultural Association and TRART, launches Scatti da Collezione, the project that aims to recognize the talent of photographers by accompanying them on their professional journey in the world of fine art photography and art galleries. The project Collectible Shots offers photographers an extraordinary opportunity to exhibit and sell their works in an art gallery, facilitating their entry into the artistic photography market. The portfolios nominated for the open call will be selected by an exceptional jury and exhibited at the Spazio Trart gallery, alongside the works of the special guest who we will announce as a surprise. The winner's portfolio, together with those of the five honorable mentions, will be included in the project's photographic book, enriched by the works of the special guest. For who is it for? Participation in the project is reserved for Exhibit Around members. All photographers already registered in our membership program can participate, as well as new members who join during Collectible Shots. More details on how to sign up here. The project is open to photographers from all over the world: the winner will receive among the prizes a free 3-night stay in Italy to attend as a special guest the inauguration of the exhibition and the presentation of the photographic volume. The exhibition The winning photographer will exhibit his works at the Spazio Trart art gallery in a personal exhibition to be held from 24 October to 14 November 2024. In addition to exhibiting their own works alongside those of the special guest, the selected artist will have access to a network of curators, gallerists and art critics, significantly increasing their visibility. During the exhibition, photographs will be available for purchase, offering the winning photographer the opportunity to enter the fine art photography market. The exhibition will also be the opening event of the 11th edition of the international photography festival Trieste Photo Days, guaranteeing significant international visibility. Theme The theme is free, but portfolios resulting from well-defined visual and expressive research will be evaluated with particular attention. The jury, composed of the curators Federica Luser and Giacomo Frullani, as well as the special guest photographer, will select the participant who demonstrates a strong artistic maturity and a skilled use of the photographic medium to express their ideas and emotions. The works can be created with any photographic technique, be it digital, chemical or mixed, and can include pictorial interventions or installations.
