Open Call - Group Show #65 – Easy Spirit: New Photography On Walking

A lone walker is both present and detached, more than an audience but less than a participant. Walking assuages or legitimizes this alienation.” - Rebecca Solnit, from Wanderlust: A History of Walking.

There is something therapeutic about going on walks and taking pictures – sometimes aimless, sometimes with calculated, project-based parameters in mind. It's a road trip on foot. It's about pause, introspection, mindfulness, and maybe some visual mile-marking.

In today's socially distant, quarantined world, walking (safely!) can be a form of personal liberation – one of the few things we can do outside. Editors note: we acknowledge that these statements about “liberation” may be dependent on certain forms of privilege — we hope to reflect this respectfully in the final show.

For Humble's next online exhibition, we'd like to see your images related to walking.
Interpret this however you like. This will be co-curated by Bryan Formhals and Humble's co-founder Jon Feinstein, with curatorial advisement from Humble’s senior editor and curatorial advisor Roula Seikaly.

Deadline: May 20th, 2020

Open Call: Group Show 61 – Loss

Loss is a universal experience that transcends class, culture, age, and history. We all deal with it at some point in life, whether it's the death of a loved one, a breakup, or an indescribable feeling of lack or emptiness. It can also go beyond straightforward representation and into the degradation of images as a metaphor for personal loss or something more abstract.

For Humble's next online exhibition, as a followup to our 2018 show "On Death," we're partnering with photographer, writer, and founder of the Too Tired Project Tara Wray to curate an exhibition about these many forms of loss. Think wide, wild, metaphoric and introspective.

As an added "bonus" at least one submission will be considered for Tara Wray's Too Tired Project book, to be published by Yoffy Press in 2020.

Deadline: March 20th, 2019

Open Call: Group Show #60 – Winter Pictures 2019

It's been an ongoing tradition on FlakPhoto and Humble to share grippingly cold photos this time of year.
We want to see yours.

For Humble Arts Foundation's first open call of 2019, send us your photographs representing winter - literally, abstractly, or a "wintery mix" ( <-- see what we did?!) that's somewhere in between. Show us your vision of a cold, cold world, and don't be afraid to get layered, wild, metaphorical, or even political if the occasion arises.

We're teaming up with FlakPhoto again this year – longtime friend and photographer megaphone Andy Adams will be co-curating alongside Humble's co-founder Jon Feinstein. The group show will live on Humble's website and we'll feature select images on Instagram @HumbleArtsFoundation and @FlakPhoto in late February, 2019. (P.S. - in case you’re waiting with bated breath, Group Show #59: Numerology will go live before the new year. Stay tuned!)

Deadline: January 20, 2019

Curated by Jon Feinstein and Andy Adams

GUIDELINES: (please read carefully)

Open Call – Group Show #59: Numerology

Numerology is a belief in the spiritual or mystical relationship between numbers and coinciding events. It’s also the study of the numerical value of letters in words, names and ideas, and can have astrological and paranormal implications.

In a culture increasingly obsessed with data and quantification, numerology takes on new meaning and possibility. For Humble’s final online exhibition of 2018, we’d love to see your photos dealing with numbers and their limitless metaphorical tangents.

Deadline: November 20, 2018
