Atlanta Photography Group
is now accepting submissions for CHOICE 2025!
Our annual Member’s Choice exhibition always kicks off the new year of exhibitions at the Atlanta Photography Group (APG). This curated exhibition is open to all current members of APG. This year APG is honored to have Madeline Beck, Curator at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art as the guest curator for our CHOICE 2026 Exhibition. Ms. Beck will choose 1 image from the first 100 members who submit their work. This exhibition has the largest number of individual works compared to any other show that we do throughout the year. It offers an amazing selection of work from a variety of photographic processes, genres, and styles. Last year we exhibited 90 images. This year, we will utilize both the Main and Maloof spaces and exhibit 100.
