END OF SHOW PICK-UP: June 7, 3-6pm, June 8, 6:30-8:30pm

ENTRY FEES: $15 first entry, $5 each additional; Arts Guild Members $10
first entry, $5 each additional
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: Start by taking a photograph; after that the sky is
the limit! The only stipulation is that your artwork must be
structurally based on your own photograph(s). What do we mean by that?
Here are a few possibilities: digital photography – feel free to
manipulate the image however you like on your computer; film
photography, with or without darkroom manipulation; photo collage
(remember you must use your own photos); draw or paint on your
photographic print; run your photo through a copy machine and make a
print from the copy; photo intaglio; pinhole camera; print your
photograph on an alternative support material; video installation - all
are fair game. Photographers working in a traditional format are
encouraged to let their imaginations run wild. Let’s see something from
an unusual point of view. Artworks will be selected based on their
artistic merit, not on how much has been done to them. Our intention is
to exhibit a wide range of what photography encompasses today.
Paintings or drawings copied from photos by hand will not be accepted;
your photographic image must be integral to your finished piece. If you
need more information about entry requirements call Jonathan Small
401-848-8426.
