Call for Entries for the Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit
The 14th Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit is back after a 1 year hiatus. We took advantage of our time off to improve the overall exhibition experience. We are still working toward an in-person hanging exhibit but recognize we did not meet our own deadlines to make that possible for 2025.
Please see the website for details about submissions, due dates, and the exhibit, including about the prizes.
