Hi,

Welcome to The Open Call List #79!

In this weekly newsletter, I share opportunities for photographers for exhibitions, publications, fellowships, grants, residencies, jobs, and more. My goal is to make the photography world more accessible, especially to emerging artists. While I include both free opportunities and calls for entry with submission fees, I only share opportunities that favor artists.

Opening Remarks:
Yesterday, I added three new institutions to the directory of galleries and museums that accept submissions from photographers for exhibition, representation, and acquisition. There are now 51 institutions in the directory. (New additions are indicated in the listings.)

Additionally, I reformatted the list of bonus material available to paid subscribers. I wanted to make the list a bit more digestible, since more bonus material is on the way in the coming months. (A reminder that free subscribers can see previews all paid bonus material.)

This week’s Open Call List contains 25 calls for entry, 13 of which offer free submission. This list includes 12 opportunities that involve exhibition (either group, solo, or online). It includes seven opportunities that involve publication in a photo magazine, online platform, or exhibition catalog. Additionally, the list includes awards for zines, photobooks, photo projects, as well as grants ranging up to $50,000+, fully-funded residencies, a commission, open calls from photography festivals in several different countries, fellowships, and more.

The Jobs section includes many new listings at galleries, museums, and other organizations in the photo arts industry, including several new hybrid and remote positions, as well as positions in the U.S., U.K., and E.U. It also includes internships, higher education positions, and other photography-related listings.
