Shutter Hub Open 2018


 

THE BRIEF

 

Our OPEN exhibition is open to everyone*. Enter the OPEN and have the chance to exhibit the work that you think best promotes you and your practice. The theme is ‘Open’, and we mean that! We want to see a diverse selection of styles and subjects and bring them together in an exhibition that promotes the future of photography.

All types of subject matter and formats of photography are acceptable – from digital to analogue, and everything in-between, including alternative process, scientific, and iphoneography. We also accept other art which has been made with photography as a major component.

This is not only an excellent opportunity to showcase your work to a wider audience, but also to open up a conversation about your photography and to connect with others across the industry.

* You don’t have to be a Shutter Hub member to enter, the OPEN is open to everyone, members and non-members! Entry is £15 for Shutter Hub members / £30 for non-members.
