MAKING STRANGE

How do we see what happens and recurs every day—the banal, the common, the ordinary? Can we recover astonishment from the familiar by rendering it newly visible?

​

Making Strange invites photographs that transform the everyday through framing, timing, light, distance, or construction. Artists reveal unexpected aspects of the world, presenting subjects as unfamiliar or newly charged with meaning. Praxis Gallery seeks work that renders the ordinary unfamiliar—where the iconic, the ironic, and the overlooked are constructed through deliberate acts of seeing.

International Juried Photography Exhibition

WATER ~ SKY

 Submission Deadline:  June 21, 11:59PM CT 
Notification: June 26, 2026. 4PM CT
Exhibition dates:  July 18 - Aug 8, 2026

Water and sky have long formed the visual and symbolic foundation of landscape photography. They remain spaces of atmosphere, reflection, movement, and transition. Water reflects the sky while recording weather, light, and motion; clouds dissolve, gather, and obscure the horizon.

 

From sea to river, ocean to puddle, these elemental forms shift through color, texture, scale, and changing conditions. Water & Sky invites photographic work that explores the relationship between surface and depth, presence and distance, observation and sensation through the evolving language of landscape photography.

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.
