SlowExposures 2023 PopUp Tour

SlowExposures 2023 PopUp Tour

We’re now accepting applications for the eighth annual SlowE PopUp Tour! Held in conjunction with our annual show, five sites around the Courthouse Square in Zebulon will feature individual or group shows—all shown in nontraditional spaces. The application fee is $30.00.

As in the "Big Show" we'd like to see your work on the rural American South...work that references the southern experience, culture, spaces and places, or its magnificent landscapes. Deadline is June 25 at midnight! And, we'll announce Jerry's selections as soon as possible!

The PopUp Tour will be the signature event on Saturday when visitors will stroll around the Courthouse Square and visit each show. We've created a unique stamp for each show and visitors will earn complementary tickets for our PopUp Print Raffle that's held during the Saturday Dinner. We ask that each juried-in participant donate a matted print for this raffle. If you are chosen, we'll cover all signage, advertising, printing, and rent on the spaces. SlowExposures will provide five spaces which will be chosen in consultation with Jerry.

If you are selected, you must set up your show by noon Friday, September 15th and keep it open through 3:00 Sunday, September 17. We have a fantastic crew of helpers for this event; however, lighting and free-standing display furniture is up to you. (We will send photos and room layouts to all juried-in participants when you receive your assigned space). We encourage you to be creative as far as marketing ideas and take-aways for your visitors. Maps and signage will be provided by SlowExposures.

If you decide to apply, we'll need the following as a part of your application:

Images that you upload that will describe your show and be used for publicity and in our Catalog.

If you have a website, please provide that in the "Short Answer" box so we can put it in the Catalog.
