Exhibition Themes:
Photo Haus Gallery is open year-round and hosts about 1 Exhibition each month for a total of about 12-15 Exhibition in a calendar year. Most Exhibitions stay up on our walls for 2 weeks.
The great majority of Exhibitions are Themed Group Shows open to photographers of all levels, from amateur to emerging pro to established artist.
Several times each year, we will also host special shows which can be of several kinds.
- Solo Shows will featured the work of a single photographer,
- Small Group Shows will featured the work of a select and, usually, small group of photographers working either on a single or various themes.
- Special student shows and photo contests will also be part of our exhibition schedule.
Themed Group Exhibitions will feature an ‘Open Call For Submissions’ posted on our Homepage. You can submit work that fits this theme and/or your artistic interpretation of it. The deadline for submissions is usually scheduled 3 weeks prior to the Exhibition Opening.
All submissions will be evaluated by a panel of qualified judges. They will look for visual qualities like strength of composition, appropriateness to the Exhibition Theme, overall impact and technical excellence.
You will be notified no less than 2 weeks before the Exhibition Opening about whether your work has been accepted for Exhibition. If your work is accepted, you then have until 3 days before the Exhibition opening to either print, mat, frame and drop off your finished artwork to us, or you can take advantage of our services such as frame and mat rental and fine-art Exhibition quality Printing.
In all cases, finished pieces ready for Exhibition have to be in our Gallery 3 days before the scheduled Opening Reception.
Along with the completed application form, please submit your work via e-mail or by sending us a CD/DVD with your files. You can also come to the gallery during business hours and drop off a CD/DVD or bring in your images on a USB key or memory Card for us to copy.
Please note that for initial evaluation of your work, we only need ‘web quality’ of your images. You do NOT have to submit the finished high quality images until your work has been approved and chosen to be included in the exhibition. More specifics on these guidelines are mentioned below above the application form.

Print Sales:
If accepted, artists may choose to offer their work for sale. PhotoHausGallery does NOT take any commission and will not be involved in the sale at all. The role of PhotoHausGallery will be to establish initial contact between the Photographer and interested buyer. From there, both parties will take over the negotiations and sale process.
If a sale has occurred while the exhibition is still ongoing, the Photographer agrees to let the image(s) remain in the gallery until the show has closed.
