Roswell Arts Fund, in partnership with the City of Roswell invites artists and teams to submit portfolios for consideration for an exciting photography and poetry exhibition. The Roswell in Print exhibit is designed to highlight the diverse characteristics of the City of Roswell, using storytellers to capture it through beautiful, compelling imagery and words displayed in non-traditional spaces.

We invite works that represent the unexpected, the discovery, and the growth and progress of our world, to submit their portfolios (up to 10 images) for consideration!

This invitation is extended to all qualified artists with no entry fee. 

Artists will receive a $150 for each image/poem exhibited as part of Roswell in Print (a maximum of 5 images will be selected per participant).

All emerging and professional artists are invited to submit and there is no entry fee for this call. Submissions will be classified by age, with works from youth (17 and under) exhibited alongside adult works (18 and over).
