We are constantly looking for photography to be published in Nueva Luz or
exhibited in our Touring Gallery program. The work featured in Nueva Luz
reaches a broad community of curators, collectors, photographers and art
enthusiasts throughout the U.S.
Published feature artists receive a $250 honorarium (for portfolios of 8-10 images), an En Foco membership, complimentary
issues of the issue in which they are featured, 10 gift subscriptions, and a photographer's page
on enfoco.org.
Exhibited artists in Touring Gallery receive a $150 honorarium, an En Foco membership, and a photographer's
page on enfoco.org. Where feasible, an additional honoraria of $100 is available
for an Artist Talk. New Works artists receive $1,000 and as many photo-related goodies we can muster (but you do have to create new work!).
Writers/Curators receive a $250 honorarium for the Commentary essay; and $100 for the Intercambio section. If you have an idea or project in mind, we'd love to hear about it!
SUBMITTING YOUR WORK:
Send a portfolio of 20 images for
consideration. We strongly encourage submissions to show
a definite and resolved grouping of images.
We prefer to review digital files (jpg no larger than 2MB each, on a mac formatted CD) - although RC prints, ink jet prints and slides are also acceptible. Email submissions will NOT be reviewed.
Include
a bio and/or resume, noting your heritage and U.S. citizenship status;
an artist statement; and a checklist of the images
submitted (include full title, series, year, medium and size).
Include a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope, with an appropriately sized envelope if you wish your materials to be returned. En Foco does not assume
liability for any materials sent by mail.
SEND TO: En Foco, attn: (name of program), 1738 Hone Avenue, Bronx, NY
10461.
Things to keep in Mind:
- We publish and exhibit contemporary fine art and documentary photographers of diverse cultures, primarily U.S. residents of Latino, African and Asian heritage, and Native Peoples of the Americas and the Pacific.
- If we are interested, we may request higher resolution files or actual prints (your chance to show off the quality of your work!), or request an in-person meeting for NYC based photographers.
- It is important for your submission to show a cohesive
direction. The images should be of the SAME series, and work well together.
- Keep the reviewers happy: do not send matted or mounted works.
- Members: don't forget you can come in for a personal Portfolio Review.
- Consider attending one of our free "Get Your Foot in the Door" workshops and learn about best practices - submission tips from curators and reviewers!
- If you still have questions, please do ask: info [at] enfoco [dot] org
- We are a small staff working far in advance, so please be patient.
We look forward to reviewing your work!
