DIPTYCH~OPEN THEME

Submission Deadline: Feb 22, 11:59PM CT 
Exhibition dates:  Mar 21 - Apr 11, 2026

A photographic diptych pairs two images side by side—creating a visual conversation across space, time, or meaning. The diptych format invites artists to explore balance, tension, narrative, and contrast. It can unite opposites, mirror similarities, or reveal subtle relationships through juxtaposition.

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic diptychs of any theme or style. The only requirement is that both images appear within a single frame or presentation, forming a unified visual statement. All lens based artwork welcome. Created by Praxis Directors.

BALANCE / REPETITION / DISRUPTION

Submission Deadline: Mar 1, 2026 11:59PM CT
Exhibition Dates: April 18 - May 16, 2026

Balance, repetition, and disruption invite photographers to consider how images are shaped through compositional decision-making and visual relationships. These elements operate not as steps, but as interacting conditions. An image may begin in equilibrium or fracture it immediately; repetition may stabilize form or reveal instability; disruption may interrupt order or expose patterns already at work.

Artists may engage these ideas independently or in combination. Some work may emphasize clarity and restraint, others accumulation, variation, or rupture. Subject matter is open; what matters is how form, space, rhythm, and visual weight function within the frame. This exhibition approaches composition as an active, exploratory process, inviting artists to test how images hold together, repeat themselves, or come undone. Juror: Praxis Directors

NUMBERS, SYMBOLS & LETTERS

 Notification:  Feb 12, 4:00 PM CT 
Exhibition dates:  Mar 21 - Apr 11, 2026

Numbers, symbols, and letters appear throughout daily life as systems of order, instruction, measurement, and belief. In this exhibition, these characters are encountered once detached from their intended functions—no longer bound to language or utility, but operating as visual forms. Meaning gives way to shape; information becomes structure.

The works presented frame, isolate, interrupt, and recombine numbers, symbols, and letters, whether through deliberate composition or chance encounter. Organization, rhythm, scale, and spatial relationship take precedence over readability or message. Word-based imagery and textual elements are present, but what matters here is not what characters say, but how they behave when freed from the work of saying. Juror: Dallas Crow

Praxis Gallery & Photo Arts Center is a year-round, brick-and-mortar photography gallery in Minneapolis presenting international juried exhibitions and solo shows across four dedicated gallery spaces. We host open calls throughout the year for photographers working in all genres, styles, and processes, including traditional, experimental, and alternative practices. Selected work is exhibited in our physical galleries and professionally documented through published exhibit books, 360° virtual tours, time-lapse gallery videos, and opening-night photography.

Artists from across the United States and abroad are encouraged to submit. Public opening receptions are held on the third Saturday of each month from 6–8 p.m., and all juried exhibitions are archived on our website.
