Call for Work: Deadline 8 June 2015

PhotoPlace Gallery Family Matters Juror: Ann Jastrab Submissions close on June 8, 2015 Family. A term that evokes an avalanche of associations - some dear, some fraught, some bearing the weight of tradition and lineage, some the glow of intimacy and trust. "Family" can be defined in many ways, but it always incorporates relationships among people who share common bonds born of  friendship, location, loyalty, love, belief, interest, or blood.   We are seeking photographs that capture the emblems of those bonds. The intimacy of family makes its depiction rich with emotion, as many of our most important life experiences happen within its boundaries: birth, death, joy, rivalry, loss, growth, vulnerability. We invite you to share your glimpses of this most elemental of human social constructs. More information here.      About the Juror Ann M. Jastrab is a fine art photographer, master printer, teacher and curator.  She is currently Gallery Director at RayKo Photo Center in the SOMA arts district, San Francisco. Ann will choose 35 photographs for exhibition in the gallery, and up to 40 additional for the gallery's Online Annex.  All exhibited and Annex photographs will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog.  Ann has curated many exhibitions for RayKo as well as juried exhibitions for the San Francisco Arts Commission, the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Artspan, and SFAI, the Center for Fine Art Photography, and other national and international venues outside of San Francisco.
