The Tampa Bay Society of Photographic Artists invites photographic artists, both members and non-members, to submit work for our 10th Anniversary exhibition, Not Your Father’s Art Show.
This milestone exhibition celebrates a decade of bold, boundary-pushing photography in the Tampa Bay region. We are seeking work that challenges tradition, redefines the medium, and reflects the evolving voice of contemporary photographic art. This is not a show for the expected. It is a platform for visionaries, experimenters, and storytellers who refuse to be confined by conventional definitions of photography.
Selected works will be exhibited for a full month at Tropical Home Fine Art Gallery in the heart of historic Ybor City, Tampa, a vibrant cultural hub known for its rich artistic energy and engaged audience. This exhibition offers artists the opportunity to showcase their work in a professional gallery setting, connect with collectors, and be part of a dynamic creative community.
We welcome a wide range of photographic expression, including but not limited to:
- Fine art photography
- Mixed media incorporating photographic elements
- Experimental and conceptual work
- Digital manipulation and alternative processes
Whether your work is provocative, poetic, abstract, or deeply personal, we encourage submissions that reflect originality, craftsmanship, and a strong artistic voice.
Join us in celebrating 10 years of photographic innovation and help define what the next decade will look like.
