Call for Entries

Portraiture is one of photography’s most profound forms of expression, offering us a window into the complex inner lives of individuals. A great portrait doesn’t just capture a likeness—it uncovers the depth, emotion, and history that shape the person in front of the lens.

We invite you to create portraits that transcend the surface, revealing the often-hidden dimensions of identity. We seek work that goes beyond physical appearance to explore the subtleties of emotion, history, and the human experience. 

We are honored to have Jeff Curto as juror for Portraiture: Unveiling Identity. He will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographer’s URL. 

Submit up to five photographs for $39, $6 for each additional

 SCADextra Workshop Opportunities with DIGI

Martin Venezky: Graphic Designer, Artist and Photographer

   Website: www.martinvenezky.com

   Instagram: @martinvenezky

 

1.                  DESIGN AND PROCESS

The typical design process involves sketching out an idea and then realizing it. The result is known. The challenge is getting there competently.

Martin Venezky's work challenges that strategy by developing an art-based process of working with materials, careful observation, and "not knowing". 

 

Friday, January 1/17, 11am-12pm 

Savannah: SCAD MoA Auditorium 

Atlanta & SCADnow: https://scad.zoom.us/j/92328379738

 

2.                  SHIFTING DISCIPLINES

Although Martin Venezky's work has always included some form of photography, in the past decade, his interest in photography and abstraction has moved from the sidelines to the main focus of my practice, culminating in his return to school to earn an MFA in Photography. What was that like, and how have photography and design affected each other?

Crafting a Unique Style - Contemporary Tools for Creative Discovery.

Friday, February 7, 2pm-3pm

Savannah: Student Center, 120 Montgomery St.

Atlanta & SCADnow: https://scad.zoom.us/j/97154430464

 

For centuries, artists and creatives have pursued immortality through their work - whether in paintings, sculptures, performances, or other forms of expression. It is their multidimensional uniqueness that allows them to stand out across time. Today, more than ever, we are positioned to create truly distinctive works, as contemporary tools and technologies offer unprecedented support for creative exploration. 

The only boundary left is our imagination.

Arte Laguna Prize

 Arte Laguna Prize

The Photography Department is excited to announce that we had a alum, Patrick Cox, and current MFA student, Taylor Edgerton, as finalists in Arte Laguna Prize! 

Patrick Cox's work, Fragmented Fashion (seen below), was chosen as a Finalist for the 18th Edition of Arte Laguna Prize. 


Taylor Edgerton's work Grandma's Chair was chosen as a Finalist for the 19th Edition of Arte Laguna Prize. See Taylor's work and what she had to say about it below. (First image is the work on display in Vince)



The archival inkjet print of my photograph "Grandma's Chair" was chosen by the Arte Laguna Prize Jury from over 20,000 works in two editions as a Finalist for the 19th Edition of the Arte Laguna Prize in Venice, Italy. The work is displayed largely at 50.80 in x 63.50 in. 

This photograph was taken on large format Kodak 400 film. 

The subject is my great-grandmother's chair in a field our family still owns. 
This field undergoes various transformations throughout the year, cultivating crops such as tobacco, corn, and cotton. The photograph was taken in April of 2022, when the field was entirely covered in pink weeds, providing a striking and picturesque backdrop for the image. The land it is placed in has been passed down through generations of my family; owned by one of the only few black families that still own land just outside of the city limits of my hometown of Metter, Georgia. This is a still of a chair that represents the generations of ancestors who once sat in it and stood on the land they fought to keep from white buyers in the city.

This field has not produced this backdrop again since I took this photo.

--

I cannot thank my professors, mentors and peers at SCAD enough for the continuous support to be able to experience all of these opportunities. Thank you for all you do!

Warmest regards,

Taylor Edgerton


Please take a moment to congratulate them on this fantastic accomplishment!!
