The Glasgow Gallery of Photography's mission is to advance the arts, heritage and cultural sector through exhibitions of photographic works as a means for artistic, community and personal expression.

The Glasgow Gallery of Photography is running a month long exhibition in May called Open Call 2023. This exhibition is open to everyone and is open themed, meaning that you can submit work from any genre of photography to be considered. Whether its landscape, portraits, alternative processes, or still life, all work will be considered for this exhibition.

Open Call 2023 is an open call for photographers to submit up to 8 images of any genre and of any theme, both are completely open to whatever you wish to submit.

Photographers who are selected will have their work displayed for a month long exhibition.
Work will appear online in our online gallery on our website.

We want you to send your best images. We want work from both emerging and established photographers. You do not need to be a professional photographer to participate as we believe that photography is for everyone.

This is a unique opportunity to bring your work to an audience of Artist, Photographers, and Creatives as well as the public.

 

Both Scottish and International photographers are welcome.

​

All participants that are selected to take part in the exhibition will be put forward for a chance to be named Photographer of the Month.

​​
