Photoworks seeks to foster opportunities for photographers to exhibit their work in a professional gallery setting.  As an educational organization, we are committed to selecting exhibiting photographers on the basis of artistic merit, eliminating financial barriers that might deter artists from submitting their work for consideration.  Beginning in 2023, through the generous bequest of an anonymous donor, the fee for artists selected for solo or group exhibitions through our annual “Call for Proposals” will be reduced from $650 to $325.  The annual Call for Proposals is announced in June.

 

In addition, artists who demonstrate a need for financial assistance may qualify for funding from our Educational & Exhibition Scholarship Fund.  Such assistance may be applied towards the exhibition fee or other exhibit related expenses, including printing and framing of work.  Artists seeking financial assistance are asked to submit a brief letter explaining your circumstances.  Financial support will be awarded on the basis of availability of funds, number of requests, and other factors.  Requests should be submitted to info@glenechophotoworks.org no later than 10 days after applying for an exhibit through our formal Call for Proposals process.

 

We hope one day to be able to be in a position to eliminate all financial barriers for artists seeking to develop as photographers through the programs offered at Photoworks.  If you would like to make a contribution to the Photoworks Educational & Exhibition Scholarship Fund, we invite you to contact Amy Walker, Treasurer, at amywalker4302@gmail.com
