Juror
Our juror for Square is Christophe Dillinger, a photographer whose work is focused on experimental analogue techniques, uniting image making with randomness. He is also the editor of Square magazine, a web publication dedicated to the square format. Through the magazine he also curates international exhibitions and organizes artist residencies.

Exhibition Details
Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. Openings are timed to coincide with the Village of West Greenville, Greenville, South Carolina’s textile mill village turned arts district, First Fridays, a celebration of art, food and music. Participating artists that can attend have the opportunity for a Portfolio Review by SE Center Director Michael Pannier on the following Saturday morning (reservations needed).

Selected images must be matted and framed up to 16” x 20” to professional standards, white mat with black metal frame unless prior approval has been obtained. The Center reserves the right to reject any piece not framed to our standards. To avoid shipping costs & headaches, the SE Center for Photography will print your photographs for you upon acceptance. For $15 per image, we’ll print on archival paper and after the show either return the print to you ($15 additional for shipping) or you may choose to donate the image to the Center’s flat file for future access to collectors.

The SE Center for Photography will mat & frame your images at no charge, using our selection of 11×14 & 16×20 black, metal frames with white, archival mats and conservation clear glass for the exhibitions.
