About

We are pleased to announce the open call for Labs New Artists III, a summer group show at Red Hook Labs Gallery in New York. The exhibition will feature work by twenty-five emerging, international photographers, unrepresented by a gallery or an agency and selected from Red Hook Labs’ open call by a jury of industry leaders. The show will provide unparalleled exposure for the artists with comprehensive industry attendance and media coverage.

As continued support for the artists selected for the Labs New Artists III exhibition, each will be paired with one juror for a year-long mentorship following the show. Our 2019 jury will be announced shortly.

To further expose the artists work to an international audience, the exhibition will travel to Oslo and Milan during the fall following its New York opening.

Red Hook Labs is dedicated to supporting emerging talent globally, and to showing personal bodies of work that apply fresh techniques and aesthetics to the photographic medium. Applicants are invited to submit up to 20 images that they feel best represent their point of view as an artist.

We will be accepting submissions until 11:59 PM EDT on Monday, June 3rd!

All Labs profits go to Red Hook Labs Education and Jobs Initiative, a 501(c)3.
