CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Red Show

The Darkroom at the New Orleans Center for the Photographic Arts, the only public darkroom in New Orleans, has announced a call for entries for a juried exhibition of photographs. The Red Show will take place in Fall 2007, with acclaimed photographer and author Richard Sexton judging the submissions. The show will open on October 6, 2007, in conjunction with New Orleans' first Saturday Art for Art’s Sake gallery event.

From the Red Show website:

Of all the colors in the spectrum, red is the one that provokes the most physiological responses. It is the color that is most easily recognized and the most visible in daylight. It has been shown that red causes the human heart to beat faster and blood pressure to rise. It symbolizes excitement, energy, passion, desire, love, power, danger, fire, blood, war, violence and aggression: all things intense and passionate.

The competition is open to all photographers using any printing process on any media. Proceeds from sales at the exhibition will be split 60% to the artist, and %40 to The Darkroom. Entry fee is $20 for up to five images in .jpg, .tiff, or .psd format. The deadline for submissions is August 31^st.
