Narrative: People, Places and Things
This juried group photo show at Black Box Gallery will focus on Narrative and Story Telling. Photography is a descriptive medium of visual communication. Narrative photography is the documentation of moments and events describing the structure and context of who, what, where, when, why and how we create and share visual stories.

Exhibition
Each exhibition will have 24 photographs selected by the juror for exhibiton at the gallery. An additional 30 photographs will be selected by the juror for exhibition in our on-line gallery annex. All 54 photographs from the show will be included in a catalog available for purchase on Blurb Books.
Rules/Guidelines
Black Box will provide Free printing, Free matting and Free framing for all of our exhibitions. The photographers who are selected into the exhibition by the juror will provide a high resolution Tiff or JPEG file for our gallery to print.
We have 18” x 24” black frames. Our white mats are pre cut for 12” x 18”, 12” x 12” and 12” x 16” prints (we also have a few other odd sized matts). We print on an Epson Stylus Pro archival ink jet printer, on Epson Premium Luster Photo paper, in a color-calibrated environment. This is a very accurate custom print, just like a custom lab would print, we have over 20 years of custom printing experience.
All exhibition prints will be kept in a flat file after the show for future sale and promotion for the photographer. This will allow the gallery to further promote our photographers and exhibitions to collectors, curators, critics and to the general public. Black Box will shread all gallery prints after 5 years of exhibition in the flat files.
