Exhibition
Throughout history artists have been inspired by the human form. Nudity can simply be implied or tell a story through the whole human form. We venture to make this our most revealing exhibition to date.
Exhibition Dates: August 3 - 31, 2024

At least 26 images will be selected by the juror for exhibition at Decode Gallery. The gallery handles all printing for accepted photographers for free, we print professionally on an Epson printer with Illford Pearl paper. We will only print one exhibition print, after the show the print will be archived in a flat file for 2 years. We feature museum quality 22”x 22” inch white frames. We have many sizes of precut white mats: (a) 11” x 11” (b) 10” x 15” (c) 11” x 15” (d) 12” x 15″ and more. We will adjust the digitally submitted final hi-res images size (never crop) for best presentation in the mats.

If the photographer has selected to list the exhibition print for sale and someone inquires, the photographer will be notified immediately. All rights to the image file and print remain with the photographer. Decode Gallery takes a 50% commission on all sales, 50% goes to the photographer.

Photographers will be notified by email of acceptance within two weeks after the submission deadline. High Resolution JPGS will be due two days after acceptance email. Gallery opening will be on August 3.
