Everyone seems to have at least one or two great photographs. In our theme shows, the Photographer’s Gallery offers the opportunity for both amateur and professional to share some of their favorite images relative to a central theme or subject. Our goal is to give gallery space to as many photographers as possible, limiting each presenter to no more than four entries. Theme shows will be juried to assure quality and to limit the number of entries that can be hung in our exhibition space. The theme’s for 2009 exhibitions are: California, Five Feet of Favorite Fotos, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Landscapes, Seascapes & Cityscapes, and Macro Photography. California: January 12 to February 13 This show was bumped from last year's schedule - sorry about that! We promise it won't happen again. The general idea for this show is, you guessed it, California. We'll be looking for photos of any content or style as long as it represents some aspect of California. This does not simply mean that the photograph was taken in California but that somehow the image at least whispers, "California." (It could scream it too, if you so desire.) Dates: January 2: Deadline for submission of jps's or priints for jury. January 9: Receiving of photographs at gallery. January 15: Reception for Artists: 6:00-9:00 pm February 13: Close of show. Pick up your pictures. Five Feet of Favorite Fotos: February 16 to March 13 This is a repeat of a popular exhibition from last year. It is an “open” exhibition. The intent is to give photographers an opportunity to share their favorite photos without having to conform to a single subject criteria. There will be a hanging fee of $25 per five feet of grid space and photographers can hang as many or as few images as can comfortably fit in that space. (Five feet of grid can comfortably display 4 medium sized images - double hung). Additional space, in five foot increments, may be rented, if available. (There is no additional hanging fee for this show.) Contact us in person, over the phone or via e-mail (see contact info below) by January 4 to reserve your spot.

Requirements for Theme Show Participation General: Theme shows are open to everyone. Photographers are requested to submit a small number of images (no more than 10) on a CD, online, or as proof prints which will be reviewed by a jury. (The deadline for submitting entries to theme shows is usually the first of the month in which the show will be hung. See specific show information for details.) Images selected for each show must be mounted, matted, framed and ready for hanging with a wire hanger. Pictures with devices not conducive to hanging on a metal grid (e.g., sawtooth hangers) will not be accepted. Print size should, generally, be no smaller than 8” by 10” or larger than 24” by 36”. Each picture should have the photographer’s name, address and phone number or e-mail address attached to the back. (The deadline for submission of completed work, ready for hanging is usually the second Thursday and Friday of the month of the show. See calendar for specific dates.) Fees: The hanging fee is $10.00 per picture. This fee is used to defray exhibition and reception costs. Sales: All pictures in a theme show must be for sale. The photographer should prices for both framed and unframed work. The Photographers’ Gallery retains a 20% commission on all work sold during the show. Pick-up: All unsold photographs must be reclaimed by the photographer within a week of the closing of a show. The Photographers’ Gallery and The Camera Center will not be responsible for work left beyond that date. If you have questions relating to the definition of a category or requirements for participation in one of our theme shows, contact David, Diane, or Breana at: The Photographer’s Gallery
