# SRO Photo Gallery Annual Open Call

**Hosted by:** SRO Photo Gallery at Texas Tech University School of Art

**Type:** Exhibition | **Location:** SRO Photo Gallery, Houston, TX, United States | **Deadline:** March 31, 2026

## About This Program

> "Lens-based art in all styles, techniques, and aesthetic approaches exploring contemporary photographic art practice"

The SRO Photo Gallery at the Texas Tech University School of Art hosts an annual open call for six to eight exhibitions of still photographic artwork to be exhibited between August 2026 and May 2027. We will also be presenting four solo moving image exhibitions to be presented during the same academic year. Portfolio submissions will be reviewed by a committee consisting of the Digital & Narrative Arts faculty and students of the School of Art and the Landmark Arts staff.

We seek portfolios that utilize lens-based art in all styles, techniques, and aesthetic approaches which speak to the ever developing and shifting landscape of contemporary photographic art practice. Consistency in the work as well as creative vision is important in the selection process.

Photographic artwork can only be displayed without framing (either matted, loose prints or mounted on thin backing). The works will be exhibited within eight glass display cases which measure 30 inches tall x 72 inches wide x 1 inch deep. When thinking about the exhibition layout please take this into consideration.

Moving images will be displayed on four video monitors, wall mounted next to each other. We only accept .MOV, .MPG, and MPEG-4 files for display.

A full color brochure listing the selected artists along with reproductions of their work, and exhibition dates is published annually and distributed locally and nationally.
