APG Solo Exhibition Series
Atlanta Photography Group (APG) is pleased to offer our members the opportunity for a solo exhibition.
Through our Solo Exhibition Series, artists of all experience levels have the opportunity to collaborate with APG’s staff to organize and present polished, curated exhibitions. The solo exhibitions will alternate with group exhibitions in APG’s Maloof Gallery. Each one showing for 4 weeks.
Exhibiting solo artists receive a $800 stipend. The stipend is generously funded by artist and APG board member, Beth Lilly.
Artists will be selected from proposals submitted to our program. Once a proposal has been submitted, there is no need to submit again, unless your exhibition idea changes. Please note that submitting a proposal does not guarantee an exhibition.

CONSIDERATIONS

This program intends to provide career development and experience for visual artists and to share high-quality and concept-driven exhibitions with our local community. A successful proposal considers our unique, multi-functional space and engages our audience visually and conceptually.
