Amblewood Gallery is located in the heart of Serenbe, a progressive community connected to nature and the arts just south of Atlanta, Georgia. The community of Serenbe has been featured in The Smithsonian Magazine, The New York Times, Southern Living, Garden and Guns, and many more publications. Serenbe is built on the arts, love of nature, and a sense for sustainability. We have an enthusiastic group of collectors and clients locally. The Open: 2015 Exhibition will also coincide with the 2015 Atlanta Celebrates Photography festival. Amblewood Gallery is one of 120 participating venues. Atlanta Celebrates Photography is the largest annual community-oriented photo festival in the United States. We welcome your photography submissions.

About the Juror
Anne Berry is a photographic artist from Atlanta, Georgia. Anne’s continuing long-term project, Behind Glass, depicts primates in captivity, but the photographs are not about the environment but about the essence of the animals. Anne believes that photography contains the power to evoke empathy and that caring motivates action. Her work is currently featured in Gente di Fotografia (Italy) and has also been published in Photoworld (China), F-Stop Magazine, Slate Magazine/Behold, Shots Magazine, Photo District News, The Portfolio Review, CNN Photos, and Black + White. Anne is a PhotoLucida Critical Mass 2012 and 2013 Top 50 and a 2014 Clarence John Laughlin Award finalist and Honorable Mention. She is represented by the Catherine Couturier Gallery in Houston. Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Lamar Dodd Art Center at LaGrange College and the Center for Fine Art Photography.
