PhotoPlace Gallery is a professional photography gallery founded in 2009 and based in Middlebury, Vermont, USA. Its core offering is monthly themed open call exhibitions that invite internationally renowned photography professionals to serve as jurors. Selected works are displayed both in-person at the physical gallery and permanently archived for online viewing on its website. It accepts submissions from photographers worldwide, and entry is free for the public to visit.
The gallery's core business is running monthly themed photography exhibitions. Photographers from anywhere in the world can submit work based on the open call theme. Jurors select two groups of works: one for the in-person exhibition at the physical space, and one for the permanent online exhibition. All selected works are included in the exhibition catalog, promoted across social media, and hosted permanently on the website.
The gallery offers flexible participation options for artists: you can ship your own pre-framed work, send unframed work for the gallery to frame for free, or entrust the gallery to handle the full printing and framing process. This greatly lowers the barrier to entry for international artists. Its most standout advantage is its creator-friendly policy: artists retain full copyright of their work, the gallery takes zero commission on sales, and artists keep 100% of the revenue from any sold work.
On the plus side, the gallery has been operating for over 15 years, making it a mature, stable brand. The permanent online archiving policy gives photographers long-term personal exposure, and the zero-commission structure is extremely creator-friendly.
The downsides are that the physical gallery is located far away in the US, so Chinese photographers face high shipping costs and complicated logistics to participate in the in-person exhibition. The website does not publicly list pricing for submissions or add-on services, and the entire interface is only in English, which is not convenient for Chinese users.
The official website is currently fully accessible directly from China. Chinese users can browse all public exhibition content and complete the entire submission process online without issue. It is a great fit for professional photographers looking to gain international exhibition exposure, and domestic photography enthusiasts can also browse all the exhibition works online for free.
