Exhibition
What is The Emergence Project? The Emergence project is to give recently graduated photography students a chance to showcase their work to a wider audience. The exhibition will be held in our gallery and all printing expenses will be covered by us at GGoP, this exhibition will be completely free for the students selected to participate. We will also be making an accompanying zine to go along with the exhibition, which will be available for purchase, any proceeds made from the sell of the zine will be used to help cover costs of the exhibition.

Why are you doing this? We know it can be really hard to get your work out there once you have graduated and we know that it has been especially hard for those who graduated during Covid-19 due to the closures and restricted of galleries and other exhibition spaces. So we want to give those who missed out and those in the future their first stepping stone post graduation.

Who can apply? Any UK based photography student who has graduated between 2021 - 2024 can submit their work for a chance to be selected to take part in this graduate showcase.

How much will it cost? Nothing, we at GGoP have decided to cover the costs of putting on this exhibition. We know it can be really expensive to pay for printing, venue hire etc to put on an exhibition, that's why we cover any expense ourselves. Will also be producing a zine to go along with the exhibition, our hope any proceeds from the sale of the zine will help cover some of the costs of the exhibition and maybe help go towards hosting this exhibition again in the future.

How to submit? Please send your submissions to submissions@glasgowgalleryofphotography.com. Send up to 8 images and a brief statement (in a word doc or pdf) about you, where you graduated from and what year, your work/projects and why you would like to be part of The Emergence Project.
