CYANOTYPE: A CELEBRATION OF PROCESS AND POSSIBILITY – JUROR SAM WANG - DEADLINE JULY 6TH – EXHIBIT SEPTEMBER 4-26

https://bit.ly/PPG-Cyanotype

PhotoPlace Gallery invites photographers and artists to submit work for Cyanotype: A Celebration of Process and Possibility, a juried exhibition celebrating the enduring appeal and creative versatility of the cyanotype process. We welcome work that embraces cyanotype in all its forms, including traditional contact prints, camera-made cyanotypes, photograms, digital negative prints, toned and wet cyanotypes, alternative substrates, mixed-media works, and experimental approaches. Subject matter is open, but cyanotype should serve as a primary component of the finished work.

This exhibition coincides with World Cyanotype Day, an international celebration of one of photography's most beloved alternative processes. PhotoPlace Gallery will mark the occasion with a special reception, workshops, and cyanotype-focused programming on September 26, bringing artists and the community together to celebrate the many possibilities of this historic and continually evolving medium.
