Cut. Paste. Transform.
Call for Entries
PhotoPlace Gallery invites submissions for CUT. PASTE. TRANSFORM., a juried exhibition celebrating photo-based collage in all its forms. From analog cut-and-paste to digital and hybrid practices, collage continues to challenge how images are constructed, layered, and reimagined.
We welcome work that explores identity, history, narrative, aesthetics, and social or political themes. Traditional or experimental, handmade or digital—if collage is central to your practice, we want to see it.
Today, photo-collage thrives as an accessible, versatile, and deeply resonant form. Sustained by movements in sustainability, nostalgia, archival practices, digital manipulation, and community connection, collage bridges online creative communities and appears in major museums, galleries, publications, and art fairs. Artists such as Mickalene Thomas, Lorna Simpson, Colette Fu, Sohei Nishino, Wangechi Mutu, John Stezaker, Deborah Roberts, Lyle Ashton Harris, and Antonio Pulgarín demonstrate the power of collage to explore identity, history, and the construction of images themselves.
We are honored to have Francine Weiss as juror for Cut. Paste. Transform. She will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographer’s URL.
Submission Fee: $39 for 5 images, $6 for each additional image
