Today, photo-collage thrives as an accessible, versatile, and deeply resonant form. Sustained by movements in sustainability, nostalgia, archival practices, digital manipulation, and community connection, collage bridges online creative communities and appears in major museums, galleries, publications, and art fairs. Artists such as Mickalene Thomas, Lorna Simpson, Colette Fu, Sohei Nishino, Wangechi Mutu, John Stezaker, Deborah Roberts, Lyle Ashton Harris, and Antonio Pulgarín demonstrate the power of collage to explore identity, history, and the construction of images themselves.

We welcome submissions from all artists working with photo-based collage in any form—digital, analog, sculptural, time-based, or hybrid. Show us work that engages with identity, history, narrative, aesthetics, or social and political issues, or that pushes the boundaries of photography and collage in unexpected ways. Handmade or digital, traditional or experimental—if it’s photo-collage, we want to see it.

We are honored to have Francine Weiss as juror for Cut. Paste. Transform. She will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographer’s URL.
