UnBound2! - An Invitational & Juried Exhibition
July 5th – August 3, 2013
Candela Books + Gallery announces our second annual invitational and juried exhibition: UnBound2! The summer exhibition will feature work from a wide range of contemporary fine art photographers. An UnBound2! gala (as in galactic) event, will raise funds to purchase select works from the exhibition. Works purchased by Candela through this event will subsequently be included in the Candela Collection.
The mission of the Candela Collection is to support photographers through the purchase of original photographic work and to actively pursue opportunities to donate said works to notable permanent collections.
UnBound! generates opportunities and exposure beyond the traditional group or juried show. Our hope is that photographers will support us by their active participation just as we hope to support their work and careers in return. All accepted photographers will have their work featured at Candela Books + Gallery, a gallery space in the downtown arts district of Richmond, Virginia.
For a look at last year’s exhibition, go here: UnBound! 2012
At the close of the exhibition, on Saturday, August 3rd, Candela will host the big UnBound2! event which will include food, music, laser cake, various high-jinks and hoopla along with incredible photography. The ticket and raffle sales from this event will be used exclusively to purchase work from the exhibition for the Candela Collection.
All work for exhibition will be selected by the Candela founder, Gordon Stettinius, and Associate Director, Amy Ritchie.
