N.Y. PHOTO CURATOR CALL  FOR ENTRY

Theme: 
The Nocturnal Hours

Jurors: Diana H. Bloomfield (artist/juror) & Constance Rosenthal (Co-Founder of the non-profit Rfotofolio).

What is it about the transformative magic of the night-time hours that we find so appealing? Maybe it’s those hours when the most mundane, as seen in the unforgiving light of day, becomes shrouded in a kind of luminous, half-hidden mystery. The falling and disappearing light softens our surroundings and turns the familiar into the strange and unknown. Our visual narratives suddenly seem rife with questions, rather than answers. In this call, we would love to see your night-time narratives. Show us how your world transforms into something else altogether in those enigmatic nocturnal hours.
 
DEADLINE:  December 31, 2024
  
5% of artist entry fees goes to the charity of the curator. Diana H. Bloomfield and Constance Rosenthal have chosen RADA Foundation (River Arts District Artists Fdn) in Asheville, NC for flood relief from Hurricane Helene.
