OPENING OCTOBER 16th, 2026
Celebrate photography as a medium without limits.
ALT: will explore what happens when artists step outside the expected and redefine what a photograph can be.
This exhibition aims to embrace alternative creations in every sense;
from cyanotypes and salt prints to film soup, unconventional printing surfaces, digital manipulation,
sculptural photography, emulsion lifting, collage, and beyond. If it challenges convention,
questions process, or expands the definition of photography, it belongs here.
submissions opening soon
alt. may reference photography’s earliest methods; others may push the medium into entirely new territory. What unites them is a willingness to experiment; to blur boundaries between analog and digital, object and image, photograph and artifact.
This exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the photograph not just as a captured moment, but as a constructed, transformed, and re-imagined experience.
“Alternative” isn’t just about technique, it’s about mindset. It’s about curiosity over perfection. Process over predictability. Risk over routine.
2026 featured artists Announced soon
