The 2025 Pop-Up Call for Entry has been EXTENDED!
Show Your work! Send us your idea for your spot on the 2025 Pop-Up Tour at SlowExposures!
Deadline for entering is Sunday, July 20th by midnight.
We are pleased to welcome the return of Nashville’s Jerry Atnip as our 2025 PopUp Juror. He is celebrated for his photography, his enthusiastic support for up-and-coming and established photographers, and his long-time support for SlowExposures.
The PopUp Tour will be open for visitors from Friday to Sunday afternoon (September 19th-21st). It’s the signature Saturday afternoon event, culminating in the PopUp Raffle at the Saturday Night Supper that evening.
Think outside the box–many successful shows can be mounted without expensive, fancy trappings–it’s up to you to make your show memorable. We encourage sales–and, we’re waiving our SlowE commission. Each participant will be asked to donate a print of their choice for the PopUp Raffle to support the event.
The Call For Slow Exposures 2025
is now CLOSED.
Watch for juror selections in mid July.
The 22nd Annual Juried Exhibition
Celebrating Photography of the Rural South
Slow Exposures is a wonderful weekend full of photography in about the contemporary South. We would love to see your photography in the Main Exhibition for 2025. Deadline is 11:59pm, June 15, 2025.
Your entry will be seen by our esteemed jurors Amanda Smith and Erin Dunn. Juried-in, or not-this-time, your entry is your invitation to join us as honored guests at the private Soiree on Friday night at Split Oak Farm where conversation, contacts, and collaborations happen every year. The selections for the Main Exhibition will highlight a weekend of over a dozen satellite shows, seminars, and career-changing networking opportunities. Your entry in the “Big Show” will also mean a discount on the entry fee for the PopUp Tour (that call opens May 11th).
It all happens in the rural countryside of west central Georgia–but only an hour away from Atlanta. SlowExposures will present three days of amazing photography–all displayed in historic, late-19th century buildings throughout Pike County. After the Slow Exposures weekend, we’ll move the show for a month to the Cochran Gallery in LaGrange, Georgia.
