El ritmo de superficies, líneas y valores es para mí la esencia de la fotografía; la composición debe ser una constante de preocupación... una coordinación orgánica de elementos visuales. –Henri Cartier-Bresson

El término composición significa 'ensamblar' o el acto de combinar partes o elementos para formar un todo, a menudo siguiendo los principios de composición que hacen que una obra de arte fotográfico sea más atractiva o intrigante para los espectadores. Estos principios incluyen el desarrollo del ritmo, el movimiento, el contraste, el equilibrio, la unidad, la proximidad y la continuidad para crear composiciones expresivas y convincentes, al tiempo que enfatizan diferentes conceptos visuales.

 International Juried Photography Exhibition

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.​​ Juror: Dallas Crow

 International Juried Photography Exhibition

THE SHADOW ASPECT

 • EXTENDED • Submission Deadline: July 19, 11:59PM CT 
Notification: Aug 2, 2026. 4PM CT
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 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. Juror: Ann Jastrab

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.
