PhotoPlace Gallery is pleased to announce The Human Experience, a new exhibition juried by Meredith Fleischer.

What does it mean to be human?

PhotoPlace Gallery invites photographers to submit work for The Human Experience, a juried exhibition exploring the richness, complexity, and diversity of human life.

From portraits, street photography, and documentary work to current affairs, family, labor, culture, identity, community, and the places we inhabit, we welcome a broad interpretation of what it means to be human.

We seek photographs that engage with the ordinary and extraordinary, the personal and collective, and the joyful, difficult, and complex realities of our lives. Work may be documentary or conceptual, quiet or dramatic, focused directly on people or on the places, events, and traces of human presence that tell our stories.

Meredith will select up to 35 photographs for exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont, along with approximately 40 additional photographs for our Online Gallery.

All selected images will be published in the exhibition catalog, permanently featured on our website, and considered for Juror’s Award, Director’s Award, and Honorable Mention distinctions.

If Selected

Juror Meredith Fleischer will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery.

All selected artists receive:

Inclusion in the exhibition catalog.
Permanent placement on the PhotoPlace Gallery website.
Promotion through PhotoPlace Gallery's social media channels with links to photographers' websites.
Eligibility for exhibition awards.

Online Gallery selections receive the same catalog inclusion, permanent website archive, and promotional opportunities as Exhibition Gallery selections.
