Through the Lens: Exploring Photographic Art Exhibition
Juried photography exhibition at Watauga Arts Council accepting traditional, digital, and experimental photography submissions until Oct 31.
The Watauga Arts Council announces an open call for its juried exhibition 'Through the Lens: Exploring Photographic Art.' This exhibition invites photographers and photo-based artists to submit works showcasing the expressive possibilities of photography, from powerful single images to imaginative collages and montages. Artists working in traditional, digital, or experimental photography are encouraged to apply. The show celebrates photography as a powerful artistic medium capable of storytelling, abstraction, and emotion, highlighting both traditional craftsmanship and experimental techniques that push visual art boundaries. This exhibition marks one of the first shows under WAC's new structured gallery operations system, designed to provide clarity, consistency, and expanded opportunities for artists. The new structure introduces juried selection panels made up of local artists and arts leaders, ensuring thoughtful curation with both artistic excellence and community representation in mind. This opportunity is open to both seasoned and emerging artists, offering a professional platform for photographers to showcase their work in a community-driven environment.
