On the Street

About the Open Call

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.” – Diane Arbus. From fleeting glances to bold confrontations, street photography captures the unscripted rhythm of life. For this exhibition, we invite images that reflect the beauty, humor, tension, and humanity found in everyday moments. Whether shot in a bustling city, a small-town fair, or a quiet rural intersection, we’re looking for photographs that tell stories of people, places, and the pulse of the street. Show us how you observe the world when life doesn’t pose—when gestures, light, and chance align in a single frame. We look forward to seeing how you see the street. We are honored to have Elizabeth Avedon as juror for On the Street. She will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographer’s URL.
