PhotoPlace Gallery offers monthly, juried photographic exhibitions to photographers worldwide, each with a new topic and internationally recognized juror. Juror gallery selections are exhibited in our physical gallery in Middlebury, Vermont, and all juror selections are permanently displayed on this website.
We are steadfast supporters of photography and photographers. Photographers retain all rights and ownership of their images. More information here.
Since our founding in 2009, we have gained a reputation for exhibiting photography of a high level of excellence, while promoting photographers and providing them with tools to further promote their own work. To that end, we encourage photographers to provide their social media and website addresses when enrolling.
To help defray expenses for distant photographers, we provide free matting and framing of accepted photographs for the duration of our exhibitions, providing they are sized to fit our pre-cut mats. By offering this service, we are able to support the goals of a greater number of photographers.
