PROJECT SUMMARY – ART IN UNEXPECTED PLACES
The current pandemic has momentarily closed the doors for many traditional spaces dedicated to art but the desire for connection and creative experiences is thriving. Roswell has a wealth of nontraditional outdoor spaces to explore and there is an opportunity to curate unique and unexpected experiences for neighborhoods throughout the city.

Roswell Arts Fund, in partnership with the City of Roswell, Getty Images, and the Hagan Family Foundation is seeking entries from artists and photographers for a new, exciting outdoor photography exhibition. The Roswell in Print photography exhibit is designed to highlight the diverse characteristics of the City of Roswell, using visual storytellers to capture it through beautiful, compelling imagery and displayed in a non-traditional space.

CAPTURING ROSWELL’S CHARACTER
Set in a series of three-month periods, work will be displayed alongside curated photographs from Getty Images. These exhibit periods are October through December, February through April, and June through August. Each exhibit will explore a theme chosen from one of the concepts identified as a part of Roswell’s “community char-acter framework” in Roswell’s Public Art Master Plan, using each of the sub-themes as inspiration.

THEMES FOR SUBMITTED IMAGES
We are our River – warm, reflective, life giving, bubbling, vigorous, meandering
We are our Colors – blossoming, vibrant, scenic, Roswell clay, consequential, sustainable
We are Forward Thinking – intentional, inclusive, blended, charming, verdant, illustrious
All images selected for exhibition will be available for print sales with 70 percent of the sale going to the artist. Works will be displayed with consideration for safe, socially distanced experience.
All emerging and professional artists are invited to submit and there is no entry fee for this call. Submissions will be classified by age, with works from youth (17 and under) exhibited alongside adult works (18 and over).
Emerging and professional artists will be asked to submit images and the selected images will be dis-played along a “photo wall” in a non-traditional space in Roswell. The exhibit will be on display for a minimum of 3 months. Artwork will be displayed in locations that allow for a safe, socially distanced experience.
