ENTRY FORM/MORE INFO (You can still use this entry form. Just make a note of the new dates!)
PHOTOGRAPHER'S CHOICE exhibition is an opportunity for all members to exhibit one or two photographs in the APG Gallery. This is a non-juried exhibition open to any style, subject, or method that can be accommodated in our gallery. There is no theme.
This show is often a chance for photographers to show work they normally do not show. A photographer may have fabulous images that don't fit within a current or past body of work. This show is an opportunity to show these photographs. Past
shows have included images later selected for inclusion in APG's exclusive Collector Prints. The Collector Prints are hand-picked every year from work seen in exhibitions or critiques that deserve special recognition.

"A Fresh Look at Photographic Ideas and Materials"
Jurored by Stuart Horodner, artistic director of Atlanta Contemporary Art Center and Beth Lilly, artist and educator
For this year's Concept Show, APG is issuing a special challenge to photographers. In the past decade, digital technologies opened up new opportunities, while at the same time our dependence on it has become extensive. If disaster should strike and the power grid fail, how could you continue your work as a photographer? APG wants to see what you would do as an artist if you no longer had access to your digital files and could no longer plug into the grid.
We propose to start a dialogue by posing questions. Is our digital dependency causing us to overlook the image-making potential of new materials and knowledge that hasn't yet been used in fine art photography? On the flip side, are there creative new ways to use vintage photographic methods? Is it even possible today to utilize chemical processes without electricity?
We'd like to see work that experiments with installations and presentations that incorporate optics and visual phenomena. Consider mining the remains of civilizations past by finding new uses for light sensitive materials. Other options might include using existing prints as raw material for a new piece.
For more information and FAQ's, please visit the APG website. Entry form coming soon!
