Signal Jammers |
MidWest Nice Art has announced our next call for art, due March 20, 2024. Signal Jammers is our upcoming online exhibition juried by Anthony Naimo.

A cursory glance at the work provides one narrative– while a sensitive dissection of the composition reveals a more profound significance. Artists and audiences are invited to consider how meaning is constructed; the complexity of simultaneous, often contradicting understandings captured in a symbol’s multitudes. This exhibition explores countercultural community building and the challenge to power dynamics intrinsic to coded language. |

MAKE IT REAL: Staged Narratives in Portraiture |
One can say that most directed portrait sessions are staged or constructed, to a degree – as in fashion photography, formal, environmental and self-portraiture, as opposed to candid street or reportage photography. The re-enactment of histories and new identities allows viewers to enter into fable-esque worlds as in cinema or theatre productions and encourages dialogue and discourse because life is full of complexities that exist beyond mere art. KLPA2024 invites photographers to submit staged portrait studies, from the simple command of ‘turning of the head to face the camera’, conceptualised self-portraits, to elaborately constructed set designs. Open to all photographers of all genres including experimental, conceptual, street, environmental, studio, self-portraits or inspired documentary narratives. Let’s push the boundaries. |

Queer Conscience 2024 Photography Exhibition The Image Flow Mill Valley, California |
The Image Flow invites photographic artists closely tied to the LGBTQIA2+ community to submit work to our 2nd Annual juried photography exhibition Queer Conscience 2024. It is a precarious time to be a queer person today, as many forces conspire to limit the ways in which we live and express our very identities. Despite the seemingly relentless waves of legislation targeting queer and especially transgender individuals in the U.S. and beyond, the world seems to be growing ever more queer. New studies show that nearly 30% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQIA2+. Queer Conscience seeks to push back against these forces and affirm our own truths through the photographic medium. In this juried exhibition set to coincide with Pride month, we ask queer artists to share their truest journeys with us and allow us to celebrate with a clear conscience. |

A Sense of Place PhotoPlace Gallery Middlebury, VT |
For this exhibit, “a sense of place” is an understanding of the essence of a place as seen through the eyes of the photographer. Using light, composition and content, the photographer evokes a deeper understanding of place by selecting details so that the viewer knows how it smells and feels and sounds there — what it’s like to stand where the photographer stood. We are seeking well-crafted images that communicate the essence of a place — what it’s like to be there. These images will move us, perhaps tell us stories, and help us understand what the artist found special about this particular place in the world. All capture methods and processes are welcome. We are very pleased that Paula Tognarelli will jury the exhibit. She will select approximately 35 images for exhibition in the Middlebury gallery, and up to 40 for our Online gallery. All 75 selected images will be promoted on social media, reproduced in the exhibition print catalog, and remain permanently on our website, with links to photographer’s URL. |
