Photo Artfolio invites photographers worldwide to submit work to our online exhibit, Beauty Illuminated.
We invite photographers to submit work that explores the theme of beauty in all its forms. Beauty is a complex, subjective and multi-faceted concept that can be interpreted in many different ways. We encourage photographers to capture their unique perspective on beauty through abstract, conceptual, narrative, or portrait photography. We're interested in seeing work that goes beyond the traditional and explores beauty in a way that surprises and excites us. Whether it's the beauty of nature, the beauty of the human form, or the beauty of the mundane, we’re interested in seeing photography that illuminates the extraordinary in the ordinary. This call is open to all forms and categories of photography with the exception of AI-generated work.

The 2024 Craft Archive Fellowship will foster archival research on underrepresented and non-dominant craft histories in the United States.

Proposals are welcome from a range of emerging to established scholars, including artists researchers. Funding is intended to support independent research and is not intended to support research conducted on behalf of an institution, organization, or 501c3.

Archives are repositories for and collections of primary source materials where people can conduct research. However, the histories preserved and stored within institutional libraries and archives often reflect the dominant cultural narratives, limiting the types of histories that can be told. Therefore, this fellowship takes an expansive understanding of what an archive is, to delimit what an archive can be. For the purpose of this grant, the Center for Craft understands archival craft research to be, but not limited to:

Digital and in-person archives: Recipients can direct their research towards a digital or site-specific archive, such as institutional archives that feature underrepresented craft communities. An in-person visit is not required.
Objects as archives, the study of a new collection of materials, such as oral histories, community-created archives, site or place as an archive.
Funding from this grant can be used to visit more than one archive, as funding and time permits. However, engagement with just one archive is all that is expected.

2024–2026 GALLERY WITHOUT WALLS

We are pleased to invite artist submissions for outdoor public display in Lake Oswego’s nationally recognized, award-winning outdoor Gallery Without Walls exhibit. In its twenty-fourth year, this program’s mission is to integrate art into the daily lives of residents and visitors to the community by presenting works from regional, national, and international artists that resonate with people of diverse backgrounds. Artwork will be displayed throughout the downtown business district for a two-year exhibition starting in the Summer of 2024.

Artists can submit completed works and proposals for new works for installation in August of 2024. We seek works of various media, including sculpture, social practice, new media, projections, and murals. We encourage proposals that engage, educate, and inspire the community. Submissions of artwork created within the last three years are highly encouraged.

The Selection Committee will choose up to fifteen artists to display. The selected artists will receive an honorarium award of $1000. Selected artists are also eligible for an annual People’s Choice purchase award of up to $20,000 (with a 30% gallery fee).
