Somewhere in the South | Open Call for Submissions | Five Spots Open

Submission dates: February 15-June 1 (midnight), 2013
Bottom line: Southern photography is HOT! Look south of the Mason Dixon and east of the Mississippi to find the photographers celebrated in Rebekah Jacob’s spring show, “Somewhere in the South,” opening in May 2013. From tintypes to digital, from suburbia to music halls, these diverse works celebrate the glorious range offered by photographers of the American south–just in time for Spoleto.These photographers deal with the human condition specifically as experienced in the southern region of the country, mining the beauty and tragedy evident in the vivid intersections of past and present, where hardscrabble rural throwbacks are mere hours from glittering urban transformations.
“Photography is a particular favorite of mine because it combines key elements—a timely moment, technical skills, the right light—to create an image that is immediate in its impact,” says Rebekah Jacob. “I also like to keep an eye out for fresh new perspectives and continue to explore the cutting-edge and collectible medium of photography and video art.”
