Call for Entry: Size Matters Juried Exhibition
November 23, 2021 @ 10:00 am - November 30, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
Every year we host our signature exhibition Size Matters, during the annual Medium Festival of Photography.
Size Matters celebrates photo based artwork smaller than 10”. Previous exhibitions have included 35mm contact prints to multi-media digital work, sculptural works, camera-less images, and exquisite 8”x10” contact prints. No matter what kind of camera you use (or if you don’t use a camera) Size Matters is the premier photography exhibition celebrating small works.
Exhibition Juror
We’re proud to welcome Bayley Mizelle as the 2022 Size Matters exhibition juror. Bayley is Director of the Photographic Arts Council Los Angeles (PAC LA) and has been closely involved with the Los Angeles photographic community, co-curating events and exhibitions, collaborating with The Lucie Foundation for Month of Photography LA, as well as Frieze LA.
Bayley will consider all photographic media for the exhibition, selecting 40 works to be exhibited with one artist selected to receive the Size Matters purchase prize ($500). That work will be purchased and donated to a prominent museum collection on behalf of Medium Photo. Previous purchase awards were donated to the Center for Creative Photography, Museum of Photographic Arts, and the San Diego Museum of Art.
Bayley received a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Photography and Media and a Minor in Critical Studies for Creative Writing from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). In addition to her work in contemporary art and arts education in the fields of writing, photography, arts pedagogy, and artist consulting, she was a recipient of the Citizen Artist AmeriCorps (CAA) Teaching Fellow Grant & Excellence in Education Award in 2016, where she taught and developed arts educational programing in photography and creative writing for underserved inner city youth programs in Los Angeles.
