International Juried Photography Exhibition

MULTIPLICITY

Submission Deadline: Oct 18, 2026, 11:59 PM CT
Notification: Oct 28, 2026, 4 PM CT
Exhibition Dates: Nov 21 – Dec 12, 2026

Multiplicity changes how we see. When subjects are gathered, compared, or arranged, ordinary forms become evidence of pattern, difference, accumulation, and order. A collection becomes a portrait; a typology reveals variation; recurring gestures, forms, or structures create visual systems that can clarify, unsettle, or transform the familiar.

​

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that explores multiplicity through seriality, collections, classification, typologies, diptychs, grids, and other unified arrangements. We welcome images found or constructed, documentary or conceptual, in black and white or color, traditional or experimental. Juror: Ross Anderson

 International Juried Photography Exhibition

EMPTY PLACES : ABANDONED SPACES

Submission Deadline: October 25, 11:59 PM CT
Notification: October 30, 4 PM CT
Exhibition: Nov 21–Dec 12, 2026 

An empty place is not necessarily abandoned, and an abandoned space is rarely without evidence. One is defined by absence; the other by what remains. Both invite questions: Who was here? What happened? Why does the place continue to hold our attention?

​

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that explores the visual and emotional weight of emptiness, absence, and abandonment. From derelict factories and rural ruins to neglected homes, civic structures, vacant interiors, and landscapes emptied of human presence, we welcome work that documents decay, examines absence, or transforms emptiness into something poetic, symbolic, uncanny, or surreal.

Up to 74 photographs will be selected for exhibition at Praxis Gallery in Minneapolis. Photographers will be notified approximately 12 days after the submission deadline. The acceptance notification email will include instructions for shipping artwork or submitting high-resolution digital files for printing. Accepted photographs will be on display at Praxis Gallery in Minneapolis and featured on the Praxis Gallery online exhibition page.

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.
