Altered Realities Call for Entry

© Brooke Shaden

Altered Realities

Juror: Brooke Shaden

Deadline: Monday, February 18, 2019

Exhibition prints due March 29, 2019

Gallery exhibition April 11 - May 4, 2019

Photography is wonderfully capable of altering reality to suit the photographer or, as juror Brooke Shaden puts it:

 "An artist's task is to see differently -- to create work that shows our common reality with a twist. We don't necessarily create something entirely different or unfamiliar, but use our lens to skew what is expected. Photographs in Altered Realities illustrate the photographer's manipulated world to accommodate their artistic vision. In them, our equilibrium is disturbed, the characters are unpredictable, and we rethink our bearings."

All capture methods and processes are welcome.

More information here.

We are very pleased that photographer Brooke Shaden will jury and curate this exhibition. She will select approximately 35 images for exhibition in the gallery, and 35 for our Online Gallery Annex. The recipients of the Juror's Award and the Director's Award will each be entitled to a personal portfolio review by Ms. Shaden.

whos histories have been neglected or misrepresented. Topics of study

class, and gender, urban planning, and the cultural identity of the

Lowcountry region. Students’ research, writing and documentation of local

sites will be applicable to website and mobile site encounters. Class

and places.

#AmtrakTakeMeThere Social Media Residency

The #AmtrakTakeMeThere Social Media Residency aims to showcase how people from different walks of life travel by rail. By way of social media, our chosen residents will share their individual experiences aboard our long distance trains while engaging users through their respective online communities.

We’re not looking for glitzy influencers with millions of followers who quit their day job to travel the world.

If you’re interested, we hope you’re a leader in your social media community, and your creativity and energy allows you to connect with your followers at a deeper level. You daydream about cross-country adventures, and as an unconventional traveler, you'd bring a diverse and unique perspective to travel. You feel like the #AmtrakTakeMeThere Social Media Residency is on track with your passions, and you could probably come up with a better train pun than that.
