Since 1996 our annual PRC Members juried show, EXPOSURE, has exhibited work by more than 400 photographers including an array of those established and emerging in the field. Each year a respected member of the photographic community—from curators to gallerists to publishers—is asked to select between 10 to 15 artists for exhibition. The juror then selects between 2 and 4 pieces per person, thus offering artists an opportunity to showcase their work at a deeper level than most juried shows, and making for a more enriching experience for audiences.

The EXPOSURE 2022 juror is Catherine Edelman, Owner, Catherine Edelman Gallery.

Entries are being accepted from April 1st through May 15th, 2022. Photographers working in a broad range of exhibition-ready bodies of work are encouraged to apply, including traditional and non-traditional approaches to photography.

Selected artists are responsible for packing (in a reusable container; we recommend bubble wrap and absolutely no peanuts) and arranging for delivery and retrieval to the exhibition space. Artists are responsible for all shipping costs and transit insurance of works to AND from the gallery in a timely manner. If work is being shipped, prior arrangements MUST be made with the PRC.

Artists must be available to provide help with unique installations and/or supply any special hardware and/or specific instructions if required for proper installation. The PRC reserves the right to refuse works whose quality does not match submission materials and will not hang works that are defective.

The PRC requests 30% commission from any work sold during the exhibition. A loan form agreement will be sent once photographers are selected and works are finalized.
