Joy and the Everyday
Juror: Jean Dykstra
Editor of Photograph Magazine
Summer Group Show
Annual Open Call in the Maloof Gallery
For this CFE we аre interested in seeing the ways in which you experience and capture the idea of joy through things that you see and do everyday. Perhaps it is an amazing view, a peaceful vista, a humorous street scene, or an extraordinary object or place that you cherish. Joy and the Everyday is defined as an emotion of great happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying – a source that sparks pure delight. As photographers, we have all captured moments that make us laugh, feel festive and elated. Sometimes joy comes from a feeling of love or something that we value greatly. We want to see photos that reflect Joy and make you happy when you look at them. Let’s spread a little Joy!
Ten images will be selected for awards* and will be installed as unframed prints in our Maloof Gallery. Thirty (30) additional images will be chosen and will also be on view in the gallery via video installation and on our website.
This CFE is open to both members and non-members and is offered on an annual basis in The Maloof Gallery.
The Maloof Gallery, named after long-time APG patron’s Ted and Gloria Maloof, supports four-six hybrid (digital and on the wall) exhibitions per year, with award* recipients of those exhibitions having their work on view as physical prints, on the wall, in the new gallery space and all of the selected artist’s work on view via video installation in the same space.
The awards* will include, Grand Prize, First Place, Second Place, Third Place and six Honorable Mentions. All awards will be selected by our esteemed Juror. The total print (paper) size for selected awarded artwork will be limited to 22” on the longest side, or less, but no framing or matting will be required. These prints will be installed using magnets. We can also recommend a local printing service, if that is needed.
*Please note that awards do not have any monetary value.
