Juried photography open call – Submission deadline is February 6th, 2022

This exhibit will consist of a variety of forms of art that are prominent in any city. For decades, photographers roam around cities in search of unique visual captures within the world’s cities, both large and small. Consider unique buildings, beautiful landmarks, famous bridges, everyday street life, the city lights at night, cool graffiti, or the hustle and bustle that makes an image come to life. This is the ART OF THE CITY.

Cities are artistic, creative, and historic. It is where the cultural treasures of our great museums reside and where high fashion struts along the concrete boulevards. In the end, viewers will come away with a better understanding of the way art has shaped (and is still shaping) the cities of the world.

Selected Juror: Mike McLaughlin

Mike McLaughlin is a photographer specializing in architecture and landscapes. He has a background in quantitative analysis which informs his rigorous approach to composition and manifests itself in his technical precision and ordered style. Being based both on Long Island and in New York City he has the opportunity to interpret this clarity of form in rural as well as urban settings. His advanced post-processing skills enable both a more idealized view of the world depicted in his photography as well as enhanced and sometimes purely imagined interpretations of the subject. In a 2018 profile, Hamptons Art Hub aptly summed up his work as “distinguished by minimalism and simplicity paired with crisp focus, clean lines, and absence of extraneous detail”.

Initially self-taught he developed his skills through coursework at the International Center of Photography in New York City. He has exhibited in solo and group shows across Long Island and in Manhattan.
