The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
– W.B. Yeats

As photographers, we are adept at seeing beneath the surface of our subjects, and often find in them the beauty, poignancy, and poetry that exist in ordinary moments. For this exhibition, we seek the simple poetic elegance of the ordinary. All captures and processes are welcome.

We are honored that Douglas Beasley will be the juror for The Poetry of the Ordinary. He will select up to 40 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 for our Online Gallery. All 80 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on the PhotoPlace Gallery website

Deadline:  February 8, 2021

Exhibition prints due: March 11, 2021
Gallery exhibition:  March 26 - April 16, 2021

SPE Society for Photographic Education

I am excited to share with all of you the opportunity to attend a talk by SCAD MFA Photography alumna Meg Griffiths with her collaborator Frances Jakubek, Tuesday, January 26, 8:00 pm EST.

SPE’s Women’s Caucus (@spewomens) is pleased to present “A Yellow Rose Project: How Far Have We Come In 100 Years?”

Meg Griffiths (@megsheagriffiths) and Frances Jakubek’s (@franciepants) project, @ayellowroseproject, brings together over 100 women all across the country making photographic work in response, reflection, or reaction to the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Griffiths and Jakubek will discuss the virtual archive, book, and exhibitions that make up the project.

Meg Griffiths and Frances Jakubek

August 18th 2020 marked the centennial of the 19th Amendment and a woman's right to vote. A Yellow Rose Project is a large-scale collaboration made by over 100 women all across the country who were invited to make photographic work in response, reflection, or reaction to the ratification of the 19th Amendment.  Co-Founders, collaborators and participants, Meg Griffiths and Frances Jakubek, will discuss the virtual archive, book, and exhibitions that make up the project. Griffiths and Jakubek say, "Our mission in researching the complication of this anniversary was to gain a deeper understanding of American history and culture from this moment in time. Though this movement granted rights to some women, and this achievement in itself is to be acknowledged and celebrated, the struggle did not end there. It was not until much later that all American women, regardless of race, were given the same privilege."
