Artist Submissions
The Museum of Photographic Arts strives to maintain a dialogue with contemporary artists and engage with new ideas and work being created in the photographic medium. We frequently receive unsolicited artist submissions and ask that all submissions follow the guidelines below:
- To submit work for review, please visit the Museum, or review our past exhibitions to assess whether your work is appropriate for our programming. Unfortunately, due to the number of portfolio submissions we receive, we are unable to respond individually to each artist.
- Portfolios can be submitted by email to curate@MOPA.org or direct mail to the address below. Acceptable submissions include: website address, CD, DVD or print portfolio; printed materials such as press reviews, exhibition catalogs or print on demand books.
- Please include a resume, short statement and other supporting materials with any submission.
- If materials require return postage, please include postage and appropriate packaging. Submissions sent without return postage are considered property of the Museum and will be held or disposed of at will.
- We ask that all submitted materials be no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches.
If your work is of interest to MOPA, or if we wish to retain your materials for future reference, you will be notified directly.
Printed materials should be sent to:
