Information
VCP is thrilled to announce our 2024 Open Juried Exhibition, a signature project of our annual exhibition schedule. We are honored to have the Griffin Museum of Photography’s Executive Director Crista Dix as our guest juror in 2024. Crista will review the submissions electronically and select 7-8 artists to each display 3-5 photographs in the exhibition which will take place in VCP’s Main Gallery for the months of May & June 2024. Artists submitting work must submit 5 images from one body of work. Each of the exhibiting artists will have a statement and biography mounted alongside their work in the gallery. Additionally, a limited edition printed exhibition catalog will be produced in conjunction with the exhibition and will feature all work from the exhibit.

Juror
Crista Dix is the Executive Director at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester MA, assuming that role in January of 2022 after two years as the Associate Director. Before coming to the Griffin Museum in 2020 she spent fifteen years operating her own photography gallery wall space creative, closing it in 2020 to make the move to New England and the Griffin. Having a career spanning many paths she has a background rooted in science, business, and creative art. This well-rounded experience provides a solid background for supporting the Griffin’s mission to encourage a broader understanding and appreciation of the visual, emotional and social impact of photographic art. Crista has written essays about photography, introducing creative artists’ work to a broader community. She has been a member of numerous panels and discussions on the craft of photography, juried creative competitions and has participated in major portfolio reviews across the country in cities like Houston, Portland, Los Angeles, Santa Fe and New Orleans.
