Global Photography Project

 

Visit the 2013 GPP Juried Exhibition

Winter 2015 Dates: 1 March - 11 April (6 weeks)

Winter GPP group will be limited to 8 participants.

To be selected for participation in the GPP you must submit a portfolio. Information and contact form is provided below.

The VASA Global Photography Project (GPP) is designed to bring you together with other photographers from diverse international locations into small online working groups that bridge culture, language, custom, and geography using various internet-based social networking tools.

In addition to developing your skills and vision in photography, you will be engaged in a multicultural creative environment as you work with your fellow team members to create photography around a conceptual theme. At the end of the session, a juried online photography exhibition will be created from the team members' work and displayed on the VASA Exhibitions website.

Benefits

As a participant, you will:

    • Be a part of an international team of 6-10 photographers.
    • Work with other artists who share your passion for photography in order to develop an online photography exhibit built upon a shared theme. Over 5000 international VASA members will have access to your group exhibition.
    • Be mentored and supported, as a team, by a VASA faculty-member throughout the process. (This is not a photography class)
    • Be challenged to take your art to the next level by your fellow team-members and your mentor.
    • Have your team's work carefully reviewed by a VASA Curator, who will be creating a juried exhibition of selected works from all the teams' final photographs. The juried exhibition will be posted to the VASA Exhibition site and promoted through InCamera, VASA's newsletter.

Expectations

As a participant, you will be expected to:

    • Attend weekly interactive team meetings to discuss the team's work to date. (The team meetings are held in Google+ Hangouts. When you register you will be asked to indicate your best meeting times.)
    • Remain committed to the project and your team for the entire 6-week session.
    • Contribute often to the team's collaborative work in ongoing discussions and with new photographs that you take each week specifically for the project's theme.
    • Use the structure and tools provided by VASA, such as Facebook, to work with your team and display your photographs.
    • Although you will retain exclusive Copyright to your work (written, photographic, video, etc.), you will be expected to grant permission to VASA to display your work (credited with your name) on its website, newsletters, etc. In addition, it is important that you understand that anything you publish to your team's Facebook site will be public on the web.
