The Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) and Armenia Tree
Project (ATP) are organizing a juried exhibition of photographs of
Armenia’s natural environment. The exhibition, entitled "A Photographic
Journey of Armenia’s Natural Treasures," will be displayed in ALMA’s
Contemporary Art Gallery from Sept. 11 through Oct. 9. The exhibition
will run concurrently with a series of weekly events that highlight
the exhibition’s theme and raise awareness of Armenia’s environmental
challenges.
Anyone with photographs of Armenia’s landscape or natural environment
is encouraged to enter their work for a chance to have it on display
and available for purchase in this exhibition. Entrants need not be
of Armenian descent or trained artists so long as their work is of
sufficient quality.
Images must adhere to the exhibition’s theme of depicting Armenia’s
ecological heritage. The images need not be of present-day Armenia,
but submissions should depict both Armenia’s natural beauty and the
current challenges to Armenia’s environment. Photographs entered for
judging should be in digital format, but hard copies are acceptable.
Originals will not be returned.
Entrants must review and complete the entry form, available
at Up to 20 digital or hard copy
photographs may be submitted for review. The submitted images must
be titled/labeled and accompanied by a price list. Photographs that
are chosen for exhibit will be shown in 16×20 simple black frames.
Artists who want their photography to be in a different sized frame
will be responsible for providing the frame and responsible for picking
up their work at the end of the exhibition should the work not sell.
Submit applications to: ALMA’s Contemporary Art Gallery, 65 Main St.,
Watertown, MA 02472. Submissions must be received by Friday, May 16.
