Texas Photographic Society - 37th Annual Members Only Show

Texas Photographic Society is proud to announce the call for entry for a new online exhibition, the TPS Portfolio Project, juried by Alan Thomas, Editorial Director at the University of Chicago Press.

The TPS Portfolio Project is designed to provide an in-depth showcase of five artists' photographic projects—featuring ten images and a statement from each artist in an online gallery. A catalog will also be created for the exhibition. In addition to the five artists chosen for the exhibition, the juror may choose a small number of images by additional artists as honorable mentions.

The TPS Portfolio Project is open to artists of all levels, internationally, who are developing or have completed a consistent body of photographic work. This call is open to all subject matter, aesthetic approaches, and photographic processes. Submissions must include a minimum of ten images from a single body of work and an artist's statement (up to 200 words). Up to six additional images in the same series may also be submitted for consideration. (If more than ten images are submitted by a selected artist, the juror will select the ten images to be included in the exhibition.)

Texas Photographic Society works to support and encourage photographic artists, internationally, at every stage of their creative practice. In addition to our regular roster of group exhibitions presented in partnership with arts venues around Texas, and our biennial one-person show during FotoFest, we also present two annual online exhibitions for students from elementary grades though college and continuing studies programs. The choice of an online exhibition for the TPS Portfolio Project was carefully considered as a way to make participation most accessible to all of the artists we serve—freeing them from the expense and logistics that would be required to frame/pack/ship ten images and therefore allowing them to simply focus on the images.
