The Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville announces a call for photographic works for its fourth annual Knoxville Photo 2016. The national call for entries is open to all artists. This juried exhibition was developed to provide a forum for artists to compete on a national scale and display their work. Approximately 40-50 photographic works from both emerging and established artists will comprise the exhibition in the main gallery of the beautifully-restored Emporium Center at 100 S. Gay Street, Knoxville’s downtown arts anchor location, from June 3-24, 2016. The Emporium is free and open to the public Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, first and third Sundays, 3:30-6:30 PM, and additional hours for special events.

The deadline for entries to be received is Sunday, April 17, 2016.

Prizes include at least $1,000 in cash awards, and exhibiting artists will receive a catalog of the exhibition.
