Our annual Juried Members’ Exhibition is open to all creative artists who use photography as their primary medium. It celebrates still images while also welcoming moving images, installations, public works, and experimental or mixed techniques, all for inclusion in our summer exhibition.

We are so pleased to announce our juror is Ann Jastrab from Center for Photographic Art, Carmel.

Ann M. Jastrab is the Executive Director at the Center for Photographic Art (CPA) in Carmel, California. CPA strives to advance photography through education, exhibition and publication. These regional traditions — including mastery of craft, the concept of mentorship, and dedication to the photographic arts — evolved out of CPA’s predecessor, the renowned Friends of Photography established in 1967. While respecting these West Coast traditions, CPA is also at the vanguard of the future of photographic imagery. Before coming onboard at CPA, Ann worked as the gallery director at RayKo Photo Center and the gallery manager at Scott Nichols Gallery, both in San Francisco.

Our annual call for entry will be open for submissions from March 1st through April 20, 2025, for all creative artists using photography as a primary medium, highlighting still images and including moving images, installation, and public works, experimental and mixed techniques for inclusion in our summer exhibition.

Our annual celebration of our members' creativity is juried this year by Ann Jastrab, Executive Director, Center for Photographic Art. The 31st Annual Juried Exhibition seeks entries of diverse themes, styles, and artistry. There is no specific theme; we want to see your best work in the genre or style you create in.
