"Self-Searching: Photographic Self-Portraitures"

The art of self-portraiture in photography is the theme of this juried exhibition, Sept. 7 - Oct. 2 at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, VT. Self-portraiture can take a variety of forms, from direct confrontations with a face or body, to the discovery of surrogate portrait objects or narratives. Juror Aline Smithson will select 40 photographs for exhibition in the gallery and on the website. An additional 35 images will be chosen for PhotoPlace's "On-Line Gallery Annex." All selected work will be included in a full-color exhibition catalogue available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected for exhibition free of charge if artists print their images to our pre-cut mat and frame sizes. $25 entry fee. Deadline: July 19, 2010. Visit website for prospectus. Questions? Contact Kirsten Hoving at photos@vtphotoworkplace.com or 802-989-2359.
