Picture Storm is a juried residency and exhibition program structured around nine discrete exhibition periods. Its curatorial premise centers on the proliferation, saturation, and psychological weight of images in contemporary life—a theme that positions selected artists within a lineage of critical image-making, from the Pictures Generation to post-internet practices. The frame is deliberately expansive, accommodating both direct critiques of visual culture and more oblique meditations on attention, memory, and mediation. The program operates on a paid submission model: a fee of $45.00 USD is required to apply. This is a standard, if not uncontested, feature of many open calls, and artists should weigh it against the tangible benefits. The primary award is a Grand Jury Award of $1,000, granted to one work during each of the nine exhibition periods. This structure suggests a sustained, season-long engagement rather than a single, one-off prize. While the organization behind the call is not specified in the provided materials, the thematic rigor and the multi-period format indicate a serious curatorial undertaking. Artists working across photography, painting, sculpture, film, visual art, and illustration are invited to submit. The residency and exhibition components imply that selected works will be shown and that artists will be in dialogue with the jury and possibly peers over the course of the season. The call does not specify location, duration, or additional benefits, so applicants should seek clarification directly if those details are essential to their decision.
