North East Photography Network are now inviting proposals from photographic artists and organisations for the first international celebration of photography in the North East.

‘The Social: Encountering Photography’ will create a dynamic exchange of photographic practice and experimentation, embracing varied social contexts and activities.

The event will provide opportunities for engagement with high quality lens-based practice in ways that are accessible and relevant to a broad public, and will attract regional and national tourism. It will bring artists and artworks of national and international stature to the region, whilst creating opportunities for regionally based photographers to exhibit their work.

NEPN and the event curatorial team welcome proposals for inclusion in the event programme and photographic work for consideration.
