About A Photographers Place

Do I have to be a member to use the A Photographers Place facilities?

Yes! While there will occasionally be events like seminars and workshops available to the public, you must be a member to use any of the facilities.

Are there additional charges besides memberships?

Great question. Yes. Currently the hourly rental rate is $20/hr. There are discounts available based on membership levels. Workshop and jury fees are based on associated costs and still subject to discounts based on membership levels. Other member activities such as artist hangouts and monthly member critiques are included with membership.

This sounds great! Do you have anything else in mind?

Yes! We’re always thinking of ways to add value to our members. Some ideas under discussion include: an annual Show Case publication for exhibiting members; discounts from select vendors; residency programs. And we’re always open to ideas from our members. The best ideas come from the people that are the most involved!

I’m excited to join! When does my membership begin?

We were very excited to be open in time for the start of the Click! Photography Festival in October 2024. For Founding Members who joined prior to our opening, those memberships became active on opening day. For memberships after that date, they will begin on the day of sign up and automatically renew on that anniversary date.

Exhibitions

How do I submit to a call for entry?

Once you decide on a Call, read the Prospectus which will have specific instructions for each Call. At the bottom of each will be a link to ArtCall.org which manages the Calls.

Is there a cost to submit?

For most Calls yes, there will be. The submission fee will be listed in the Prospectus. The fee will be paid at the time of submitting your work.

How do I know if my work has been juried in?

All artists that submit work will be notified of the jury decision usually within 5-7 days after the close of submissions.

My work has been accepted, what comes next?

Congratulations! Included with your notification will be detailed instructions on what to do next. But in summary: artists will have the choice between: A) Shipping or delivering their work to the gallery framed and ready to hang; B) Shipping or delivering their work matted to be framed in one of our standard 11x14 or 16x20 black frames; or C) Sending us your image file and one of our printing experts will print, mat and frame your image to fit one of our stock mats and frames. Specifications for printing services will be included with your notification. There is a $25 fee for printing and return shipping for this service.

There is no fee for framing services for unframed work. However, artists MUST include return shipping labels with both their framed and unframed submissions, or pick up their work at the gallery during regular business hours. Work left at the gallery MUST be picked up within 30 days of the end of the exhibition.

I have an idea for for a solo or group show. What should I do?

If you are interested in showing your work in one of our gallery spaces, please submit a proposal including details of the work. artist(s), and 6-10 images illustrating the work you propose to exhibit. Please note, we are a small group of photographic artists with our own careers and families. Please be patient as it may take us 6-8 weeks to respond to your proposal. If we anticipate any additional delays, we will let you know.
