Decode Gallery is excited to introduce our upcoming exhibition theme: COLOR! From the soft golden hues of a morning sunrise to the electric neon lights of a bustling city, color is an essential part of our world. It brings energy, emotion, and depth to photographs, transforming an image into a powerful storytelling tool. Whether subtle or bold, color can be used to highlight details, create striking contrasts, or evoke a sense of nostalgia. As photographers, color is one of our greatest assets, and we invite you to show us how you use it in your work.

For this exhibition, at least 26 exceptional images will be selected by our juror to be displayed in the gallery. As part of our commitment to supporting artists, Decode Gallery handles all printing at no cost to the selected photographers. We print each image professionally on an Epson printer using Ilford Pearl paper, ensuring the highest quality results. The artwork will be framed in elegant, museum-quality 22” x 22” white frames, with a variety of white mat sizes available: 11” x 11”, 10” x 15”, 11” x 15”, 12” x 15”, and more. Our team will adjust the final image size as needed for the best presentation while maintaining the full composition of the original photograph.

If an artist chooses to make their exhibition print available for purchase, we will notify them immediately if a buyer expresses interest. The photographer retains full rights to their image and print, and any sales will be divided evenly—50% to the photographer, 50% to Decode Gallery.

Artists will be informed of their acceptance via email within two weeks of the submission deadline. Upon acceptance, high-resolution JPG files must be submitted within two days for printing. The exhibition’s official opening is set for April 5th, offering an opportunity for photographers to showcase their work in a professional gallery setting.

We can’t wait to see your unique take on COLOR—show us how you use it to tell your story!
