 International Juried Photography Exhibition

THE SHADOW ASPECT

 Opening Reception: August 22, 6–8 PM
Exhibition dates:  Aug 22 - Sept 12, 2026

​

"We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates." — Jun'ichirō Tanizaki

​

Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that explores the formal, conceptual, and metaphoric implications of the shadow. Submissions may focus on the shadow as pure visual form expressed through the creation of line, shape, pattern, and texture. They may also examine the cultural and psychological implications of the shadow—exploring ideas of foreboding, internal conflict, passages into the unconscious, or other ephemeral interpretations.

 International Juried Photography Exhibition

MOTION > BLUR

 Opening Reception: August 22, 6–8 PM
Exhibition dates:  Aug 22 - Sept 12, 2026

Motion Blur in photography creates a paradox: the image is a frozen moment in time, yet what it captures is movement—streaking, bending, or distortion of light and form in the frame. Blur can convey velocity, gesture, or emotional tone. It can introduce dream-like or surreal qualities by invoking the transitory nature of time passing.

​

Meteors streak across the sky. Figures pass through a space and dissolve. An artist draws with light. These moments reveal motion not as interruption, but as presence—an imprint of time unfolding within the still image.​ Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that explores the visual and conceptual potential of motion and blur.​

 International Juried Photography Exhibition

MOTION > BLUR

 Opening Reception: August 22, 6–8 PM
Exhibition dates:  Aug 22 - Sept 12, 2026

Motion Blur in photography creates a paradox: the image is a frozen moment in time, yet what it captures is movement—streaking, bending, or distortion of light and form in the frame. Blur can convey velocity, gesture, or emotional tone. It can introduce dream-like or surreal qualities by invoking the transitory nature of time passing.

​

Meteors streak across the sky. Figures pass through a space and dissolve. An artist draws with light. These moments reveal motion not as interruption, but as presence—an imprint of time unfolding within the still image.​ Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that explores the visual and conceptual potential of motion and blur.​

 International Juried Photography Exhibition

NUDE GEOGRAPHIES

The nude figure has held a central place in art for centuries—explored as a symbol of beauty, vulnerability, sensuality, and human complexity. From classical traditions to contemporary interpretations, artists have turned to the nude to express everything from idealized form to emotional depth.

​

In photography, the nude remains a versatile and powerful subject. It can be intimate or confrontational, formal or raw, poetic or political. It can invite reflection on identity, the gaze, representation, and the shifting boundaries between public and private. And at times, it may simply celebrate the body as light, shape, and presence.

​

Praxis Gallery presents photographic works that explore the nude in any of its many styles and expressions—including figure studies, environmental nudes, implied nudes – whether aesthetic, conceptual, emotional, or experimental.

 Submission Deadline: Aug 23, 11:59PM CT 
Notification: Aug 28, 2026. 4PM CT
Exhibition dates:  Sept 19 - Oct 10, 2026

THE STREETS

 Submission Deadline: Aug 16, 11:59PM CT 
Notification: Aug 25, 2026. 4PM CT
Exhibition dates:  Sept 19 - Oct 10, 2026

The street photographer moves through public life as both observer and participant—attentive to gesture, chance, humor, tension, and the fleeting relationships between people and place. An ordinary moment becomes a record of how we live; the familiar becomes strange, revealing the mystery and energy of everyday life.

​

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that explores the streets from all angles, including people, public spaces, urban structures, and documentary subject matter. We welcome all photographic styles and interpretations, in black and white or color, traditional or experimental. Juror: Jonathan Pavlica

FRAMES WITHIN FRAMES

 Submission Deadline: Aug 16, 11:59PM CT 
Notification: Aug 25, 2026. 4PM CT
Exhibition dates:  Sept 19 - Oct 10, 2026
 

Speaking of the power of photography, Garry Winogrand once said, “Putting four edges around a collection of information or facts transforms it.” Take that idea one step further: what happens when you place a frame—a doorway, window, mirror, picture frame, architectural element, or other structure—within the photograph itself?

​

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that uses one or more frames within the image as the conceptual foundation for visual expression. Whether emphasizing a subject, creating layers of meaning, revealing relationships between spaces, or exploring perspective, boundary, reflection, and isolation, we welcome all genres and interpretations.

​

​

Up to 38 photographs will be selected for exhibition at Praxis Gallery in Minneapolis. Photographers will be notified approximately 12 days after the submission deadline.

WATER ~ SKY

 Opening Reception:  July 18, 6PM
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.

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 presents 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.

Up to 38 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.

THE LIFE OF COLOR

Color is not passive. It directs attention, shapes atmosphere, and influences how an image is experienced before form is fully resolved. Beyond description, color operates as signal—amplifying, unifying, or destabilizing what is seen. It can heighten emotion or introduce tension, flatten space or deepen it. Its presence is immediate, but its effects are complex.

 

Praxis Gallery presents photographic work that engages color as a central force in image-making—where hue, value, and saturation are used deliberately to construct meaning, evoke response, and define the visual experience. Curated by Praxis Directors

Artists approached their subjects with curiosity, empathy, and imagination. Through quiet observation, environmental portraiture, documentary approaches, and experimental interpretations, the exhibition presents diverse perspectives on how humans encounter and represent the living world.

​

Across species and settings, these photographs invite viewers to look more closely and consider the shared environments and relationships that shape life on this planet. All lens-based work is included. Curated by Praxis Directors.

THE PORTRAIT

Opening Night Reception: May 23, 6–8 PM, 2026
Exhibition Dates: May 23 - June 13, 2026

A portrait begins with attention—an act of looking, and of being looked at. Each image holds a tension between appearance and interior life. A face, posture, gesture, or setting may suggest clarity, but also carries ambiguity. Some portraits are direct and documentary; others are constructed, performative, or conceptual. They may reveal intimacy or explore distance, anonymity, and self-invention.

 

To make a portrait is to engage another presence—or to turn the camera toward oneself—and consider how identity is shaped, expressed, withheld, or transformed within the frame.

​

Praxis Gallery presents photographic portraits that examine the depth and complexity of the human subject. The exhibition features work reflecting lived experience, psychological presence, cultural context, and formal exploration through the lens. Juried by Elizabeth Flinsch.

MAKING STRANGE

 Submission Deadline: May 31, 11:59 PM CT 
Exhibition dates:  July 18 - Aug 8, 2026
Notification: June 12, 2026. 4 PM CT

“Art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things.” — Viktor Shklovsky

Making Strange


• obvious • overlooked • inversion • estrangement • friction • re-seeing

​

The technique of art is to make the familiar unfamiliar and extend the length of perception.
— Viktor Shklovsky

​

Making Strange invites photographs that transform the ordinary into something newly visible. Through framing, timing, light, distance, or construction, artists reveal unexpected aspects of the world around us—rendering everyday subjects as unfamiliar or charged with new or unexpected meaning.

​

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic works that search for the iconic and ironic in the everyday world around us; that portray the people, places, and things which have become ordinary to us in new, imaginative and expressive ways. One image may be recognized as the Viktor Shklovsky Award, highlighting a work that most strongly engages the idea of making the familiar unfamiliar.

Exhibition Frame & Print Size

Praxis features museum-quality 22x22-inch black frames with four standard precut white mattes.

  • 10” x 15”

  • 11.8” x 15”

  • 8” x 15”

 

  • Images must fit within these dimensions. If an image exceeds the maximum size, portions of the image will be cropped by the matte.

Balance, repetition, and disruption shape how images take form through compositional decision-making and visual relationships. These elements operate not as steps, but as interacting conditions.

THE PORTRAIT

Opening Night Reception: June 21, 6-8PM

Exhibition Dates: June 21–July 12, 2025

"Making portraits is more than a physical form, it’s a silent communication in understanding and respect between the photographer and the subject. There’s an internal emotion and fire of the soul that you try to capture." – Sandra


In her book, Portraits and Persons, writer Cynthia Freeland describes three essential elements that constitute a portrait: “(1) a recognizable physical body (2) an inner life, i.e., some sort of psychological or mental states and (3) self-presentation, or the "posing.”
 

Praxis Gallery presents photographs that celebrate the aesthetic and conceptual considerations involved in the creation of the portrait: revealing personal narratives or new anthologies through the artistic representation of the subject. Juried by Sandrine Hermand Grisel

THE SHADOW ASPECT

 Submission Deadline: July 12, 11:59PM CT 
Exhibition dates:  Aug 22 - Sept 12, 2026
Notification: Aug 24, 2026. 4PM CT

​

"We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates." — Jun'ichirō Tanizaki

​

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the formal, conceptual, and metaphoric implications of the shadow. Submissions may focus on the shadow as pure visual form expressed through the creation of line, shape, pattern, and texture. They may also examine the cultural and psychological implications of the shadow—exploring ideas of foreboding, internal conflict, passages into the unconscious, or other ephemeral interpretations. All lens-based artwork is welcome.

MOTION > BLUR

 Submission Deadline:  July 19, 11:59PM CT 
Notification: July 24, 2026. 4PM CT
Exhibition dates:  Aug 22 - Sept 12, 2026

Motion Blur in photography creates a paradox: the image is a frozen moment in time, yet what it captures is movement—streaking, bending, or distortion of light and form in the frame. Blur can convey velocity, gesture, or emotional tone. It can introduce dream-like or surreal qualities by invoking the transitory nature of time passing.

​

Meteors streak across the sky. Figures pass through a space and dissolve. An artist draws with light. These moments reveal motion not as interruption, but as presence—an imprint of time unfolding within the still image.​ Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that explores the visual and conceptual potential of motion and blur.​
