TARTY!

Thanks to a warmer than usual winter, apple orchards are getting into full swing a little early this year.  I am dreaming of apple pies, apple tarts, apple jellies and jams.  Maybe I’ll try my hand at making chutney this year.  This next call is all about the beauty of our landscape, orchards included.  Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Terrain

Looking at both the vast and the microscopic, landscape photography takes us from backyards to national parks; from mountains to coastlines. This genre includes images of the untouched beauty of the earth as well as places impacted by mankind.  In addition to beauty, it often explores the contours of our relationship with the land, presenting historic battlefields, high-rise jungles, or threatened environments.  For Terrain, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the beauty and complexity of our landscape.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: July 19, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.
