Photo Drop off at the MPAC March 7th

The Low Light Photo Group has been invited to exhibit at the Manatee Performing Art Center.

Exhibition Dates March 10th to April - Date TBA.

Acceptable themes are nightscapes, Astrophotography, Astro-landscapes, light painting, star trails, fireworks, moon stuff, etc.

Photos on display will be in the lobby and viewable to the public.

Requirements

• 2-D Only - Photos, Canvas, Metal, Acrylic

• Print sizes from 16x20 to 24x36.

• The largest acceptable frame is up to 26x38.

• You can submit up to three pieces per photographer.

• All submitted artwork must be ready to hang.

• Picture frame wire should not be above the edge of the frame. Picture frame wire is a multi-strand wire. Do not use monofilament—no sawtooth hangers.

• Screw eyes/D-rings and hanging wire MUST be attached firmly to the back of the piece with screws.

• All framed artwork with glass/Plexi should be clean and scratch-free. If it has one, the mat should be clean and cut smoothly. Frames must be in good condition (no scratches, chips, or loose corners).

• Photographs on canvas must be framed or have finished edges. Gallery wrapped canvas is acceptable, provided that no staples are showing and the edges are clean and free of smudges and smears.

• Watermarks are not encouraged, but signatures are.

• Each piece must be clearly labeled with the photographer's name, title, phone number, and email on the back. Optional details - Please include any details like constellations or landscape location.

Failure to meet these requirements will exempt the work from the exhibit. Also, MPAC has the right of refusal for any photo deemed inappropriate for the venue. Although precautions are taken, the MPAC is not responsible for damage or theft. All entries are left at the owner's risk.

FEE - There is a $5 per piece for the exhibit. The payment will offset the cost for promotion, set-up, and take-down. I will donate any additional dollars left over after expenses to MPAC.

Drop off and Pick Up

Work drop-off is March 7th at MPAC between 9 am to 11 am.
Location - Manatee Performing Arts Center, 502 3rd Ave W · Bradenton, FL

The photographer may not substitute work accepted for the exhibition, nor will any be permitted to be withdrawn. Also, photos cannot be picked up before the show's end.

The goal is to hang all accepted work. However, if the quantity of work exceeds the available space, photos will be judged on the quality of the presentation and theme for the public space. If the work isn't selected, I will contact the photographer and arrange for pick up.

All exhibition submissions are final.

Pick up in April (Date TBA) between 9 am to 11 am. Anything left after that will be disposed of at the discretion of the exhibitors.

Anyone who wishes to purchase a print will be encouraged to contact the photographer directly.

There will be additional details as we get closer to the show.

One last thing - Low Light Group Members will receive 20% of their prints at Johnson PhotoImaging if it's for the exhibition.

RSVP for this MeetUp if you are planning to submit work.
