Call for Submissions

Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 Solo Exhibitions

The SRO Photo Gallery at the Texas Tech University School of Art hosts an annual open call for six to eight exhibitions of still photographic artwork to be exhibited between August 2025 and May 2026. Beginning in Fall 2025, we will also be presenting four solo moving image exhibitions to be presented during the same academic year. Portfolio submissions will be reviewed by a committee consisting of the Digital & Narrative Arts faculty and students of the School of Art and the Landmark Arts staff.

We seek portfolios that utilize lens-based art in all styles, techniques, and aesthetic approaches which speak to the ever developing and shifting landscape of contemporary photographic art practice. Consistency in the work as well as creative vision is important in the selection process.

Photographic artwork can only be displayed without framing (either matted, loose prints or mounted on thin backing). The works will be exhibited within eight glass display cases which measure 30 inches tall x 72 inches wide x 1 inch deep. When thinking about the exhibition layout please take this into consideration.

Moving images will be displayed on four video monitors, wall mounted next to each other. We only accept .MOV, .MPG, and MPEG-4 files for display.

A full color brochure listing the selected artists along with reproductions of their work, and exhibition dates is published annually and distributed locally and nationally.

Submission deadline is March 31, 2025. There is no submission fee to apply to SRO Photo Gallery for consideration. Selected artists will be announced in early May.

Submission Requirements:

• A brief Bio and/or CV.
• Artist or Project Statement with Full Contact Information (Name, Telephone, website/Instagram, and Email Address).
