Solo Exhibition Proposal Series 2023
Atlanta Photography Group (APG) is pleased to announce the inaugural call for proposal (CFP) for our new solo exhibition opportunity for APG members. This new offering is the Solo Exhibition Proposal Series (SEPS).
Through our SEPS, artists of all experience levels have the opportunity to collaborate with APG’s Maloof Gallery staff to organize and present polished, curated exhibitions in our gallery. This series will be two shows annually, and is the only way to be considered for a proposed solo exhibition.
For the inaugural CFP, Paula Tognarelli will review all submissions in a democratic process involving hours of thorough reviewing of each submission. Each review results in one exhibition selection. The selected exhibition will also be documented and archived in a virtual viewing room / page on our website.
The APG exhibitions directors will curate the exhibition exclusively featuring the selected artist who submitted proposals. Please note that submitting a proposal does not guarantee an exhibition.
