I was honored to jury the 2026 Photography and Sculpture exhibition for the Rowayton Arts Center. The task of reviewing submissions is always a welcome challenge, and I spent hours each day immersing myself in the entries before making my final selections. I was particularly struck by the broad range of photographic styles and sculptural methods. Ultimately, I sought out outstanding individual pieces that continued to captivate me each time I reviewed the collection. It has been a true pleasure working with RAC Executive Director Andrea Letters and her team in producing this exhibition. My sincere thanks to everyone who entered; your work was seen, valued, and deeply admired. – Elizabeth Avedon

 A Call for Entries 

 PhotoPlace Gallery 

 Deadline to Enter : Nov 11, 2024

 Juror: Elizabeth Avedon

 Exhibition: January 3 - 24, 2025 

 

For “Portals: Windows, Mirrors and Doors”, we’re looking for images that use any or all these devices in intriguing ways. All capture methods and processes are welcome. A portal can be an architectural feature (a gate, window, doorway, mirror, tunnel) that frames or isolates or adds dimension to an image. In a fictional sense, a portal can be a magical doorway through time and space. Alone or in combination, they hold unlimited creative possibilities for photographers.

I was honored to be invited to jury the 2021 PORTRAIT exhibition for Photo Place Gallery. The task of jurying work is always a challenge and I thank everyone who entered. My ‘Jurors Award’ went to Kent Meister for his portrait “Maisha & Victor, Prospect Park, Lakeside, Brooklyn.” The ‘Director’s Award’ went to Terry Wild for his classic black and white portrait of Emogen Cunningham - known as the "Grandmother of Photography” - in honor of her seminal role in popularizing photography in its early years. 'Honorable Mentions' went to Jeremiah Dine’s portrait of his wife Anne-Marie through a prism of light; Juno Gemes portrait of HH The Dalai Lama; and Susan May Tell’s “Man Through A Van, San Francisco”.  View the Exhibition Gallery here.

PhotoPlace Gallery is located in the oldest remaining residence in Middlebury, Vermont. Built in 1799 as a residence for the foreman of the water mill on Otter Creek, the sagging, hand-hewn beams and lumber from virgin forest bespeak its age — and its charm. All visitors are welcome to the gallery during our normal business hours: 11 am to 4 pm Tuesday through Friday. Saturdays by appointment
