2024 SlowExposures – September 20-22, 2024
The 21st Annual Juried Exhibition
Celebrating Photography of the Rural South
We don’t want to miss you in 2024! SlowE has always been a “be there” experience. It’s a weekend filled with incredible photography, one-of-a-kind, serendipitous meetings and conversations that can inspire you–and propel your art forward. We are fond of channeling famous hockey player Wayne Gretzky when he said: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Take your shot.
Your entry will be seen by our esteemed jurors Anna Walker Skillman and Brian Taylor. 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 will be released in the coming month.
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. Our 2024 dates are September 20th-22nd. After the SlowE weekend, we’ll move the show for a month to the Cochran Gallery in LaGrange, Georgia.
The SlowExposures Theme:
We invite photographers to submit work that captures the diversity, contradictions, and complexity of the contemporary rural American South.
Your participation in 2024 starts by entering up to six images of work taken in the rural regions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Go for it.

2024 PopUp Tour
The PopUp Tour is one of the premier events during SlowExposures weekend in Pike County, Georgia. Five shows–solo or group–will be staged in nontraditional venues in-and-around the Courthouse Square in Zebulon. Show-goers will collect a unique stamp in their PopUp Passport at each show to exchange for tickets to participate in our PopUp Raffle at the Saturday Supper.
We are pleased to welcome the return of Nashville’s Jerry Atnip as our 2024 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 20-22). 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.
