Juror:
Erin Dunn
Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art
Telfair Museums
We invite photographers from around the world to submit their most compelling and thought-provoking works for our upcoming exhibition, Portrait 2024. This exhibition seeks to celebrate the timeless art of portraiture and the profound stories that can be conveyed through the human figure. We are looking for images which explore the intricate and intimate connections that bind us as human beings. Through the lens of portraiture, this exhibition aims to unveil the unique narratives that are etched onto each individual’s face and body. The human form, whether presented in its unadorned simplicity or adorned with personal symbolism, serves as a canvas for emotions, experiences, and stories that transcend cultural boundaries.
Themes include but are not limited to:
- Identity and self-expression
- Emotion and psychology
- Cultural diversity
- Narrative portraiture
APG is thrilled to have Erin Dunn, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Telfair Museums as our esteemed juror.
The total print (paper) size for selected artwork will be limited to 24” 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.
