MCLA Gallery 51 Seeks Camera Phone Photo Show Submissions
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts’ Gallery 51 is gathering images for “Waiting: A Camera Phone Photography Show,” which will open on Thursday, May 26, and run through Saturday, June 25.
A collaborative group project of MCLA and Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, “Waiting” will include more than 1,000 photographs, which will be selected for exhibit in MCLA Gallery 51.
The gallery will collect images of times in our day when we are waiting. The show will attempt to capture the moments that pass, unseen. This project represents a form of self-assessment as we consider these small moments in our daily lives.
This “waiting” can be for a multitude of reasons. Its duration may just seconds or minutes, or hours and even longer.
The selected images will be made into 4-inch by 4-inch prints by the Gallery, with a quarter-inch border on the top and sides, and a 1-inch border at the bottom. Images also will include a description of what the artist/photographer was waiting for, to be placed beneath each print. The gallery will print selected works at no cost to the artist.
The deadline for submission is May 1. Submissions are open to all, and should include six to 12 images in square format. To submit photos, go online.
