Across America 2026

The Art Center is a community gallery in historic downtown Dover, New Hampshire. "Across America 2026" is the gallery's themed photography exhibition for 2026, inviting work that celebrates America's diverse and dynamic essence — landscapes, people, culture, or any aspect that embodies the nation's spirit. The brief is interpretive: literal documentary, abstract, conceptual, and traditional landscape work are all welcome.

Each photographer submits up to 3 images forming a cohesive series. Selection is by photographers Brian Crowley (landscape and street) and Ron St. Jean (portrait and fine art, 40+ years' practice). The exhibition runs July 13 through August 31, 2026.

All accepted work must be for sale and cannot be removed during the exhibition. Sales terms split commission with the artist receiving 70% of sale price. Members of The Art Center enter free; non-member entry is $25 for up to 3 images.

Eligibility is restricted to U.S. photographers aged 18 and over, at all skill levels. Submissions go through ArtCall. The 2026 deadline is May 31; results announced June 8.
