International Juried Photography Exhibition

THE ABSTRACT IMAGE

Submission Deadline: Dec 14, 11:59PM CT
Exhibition Dates: Jan 17 - Feb 14, 2026

“An abstract photograph draws away from that which is realistic or literal. It departs from natural appearances and recognizable subjects in the world. Some even say it transcends meaning, existence, and reality itself — standing apart from the concrete whole, relying instead on conceptual meaning and intrinsic form.”– John Suler

​

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic artwork that explores the world through an abstracted lens. Submissions may utilize color, light, shadow, texture, shape, or line to create images that move beyond traditional representation — inviting viewers to experience photography as pure visual expression. All lens-based artwork is welcome. Juried by the Praxis Directors.

OPEN THEME

Submission Deadline: Jan 4, 2026. 11:59PM CT
Exhibition Dates: Feb 21- Mar 14, 2026

Photography can describe, question, transform, or reimagine the world. An open theme allows artists to submit the work that best reflects their current practice—whether rooted in observation, imagination, or constructed visual approaches.

​

Praxis Gallery invites photographic art of any genre or subject that reflects the artist’s distinct way of seeing. Submissions may include documentary work, portraiture, abstraction, experimental process, narrative imagery, or any visual exploration in which the photograph serves as a mode of expression or inquiry. All lens-based artwork is welcome. Juror | Anne Jastrab

 International Juried Photography Exhibition
 LANDSCAPES
Acceptance Notification: Dec 14, 2025 4PMPM CT
Exhibition Dates: Jan 17 - Feb 14, 2026

Landscape photography reflects our ongoing dialogue with the world around us. Sometimes vast and panoramic, other times intimate or microscopic, the landscape can be a literal space—or a symbolic one. While many landscape images celebrate nature in its pure, untouched state, others explore how human presence shapes, disrupts, or defines the land. Beyond aesthetic beauty, landscape imagery often carries emotional and psychological resonance—revealing traces of memory, loss, affection, or longing embedded in place.

​

Praxis Gallery presents photographic artwork that offers a broad, interpretive, and personal investigation of the landscape—whether understood as a physical environment, an imagined terrain, or a conceptual space. Juror | Aline Smithson
