Exhibition call for 2023 is open
The Northern Photographic Centre (PVK) exhibition call for 2023 is open until 2 August 2022. Exhibitions will be selected by the NPC exhibition committee. Three to five exhibition periods are available for application in 2023. The exhibitions are for a duration of 5–8 weeks.
Northern Photographic Centre is profiled for high-quality, contemporary photographic art. The reputation of the centre is based on rigorous and long-term work to showcase high-quality photographic art in the northern regions. Northern Photographic Centre emphasises the long-term, ecological focus in its activities and choices, and actively promotes a responsible culture of contemporary art. It believes in transparency and free sharing of human capital.
The gallery of Northern Photographic Centre is located in the Cultural Centre Valve in the town centre of Oulu, with free admission to the exhibitions. More than 35,000 visitors per year visit the gallery, and the gallery is open every day from 10:00–20:00. The gallery has seven rooms and has a total floor area of approximately 135 square metres. The premises have stone walls and a red brick floor. Two rooms have a screen and a video projector for the presentation of video works. The gallery is also ideal for team exhibitions.
The Northern Photographic Centre provides productive support and pays a two-month salary for an artist as part of a special grant from the Kone Foundation. The remuneration is exhibition-specific and equal for all.
Northern Photographic Centre organises the transfers of works to and from the exhibition, the insurance of works during transport and exhibition, travel, and accommodation costs to the grand opening of the exhibition, information, and opening ceremony.
Northern Photographic Centre encourages applicants to offer a wide range of challenging and lens-based media-based sets of photographs that are fresh or relate to current issues. The utilisation of the premises as part of the exhibition is considered to be an advantage.
Northern Photographic Centre hopes for exhibition proposals from photographers belonging to linguistic, cultural, or other minorities, and encourages people of all ages and genders to submit applications. All exhibition proposals will be assessed confidentially.
