The Graham Slaughter Biannual Photography Exhibition was founded in 2005 by former DCA Board President, Dr. Graham Slaughter, and continues today to bring together community members and artists from the DMV region.

This is an open call exhibition with the theme of Unspoken.

What emotions can only be expressed through the lens of the camera? How does the art of photography reveal the depth and nuance of the human experience?

The subject matter can range from family, friends, love, loss, and more. The visual style of this exhibition is also open ended, and submissions can include portraiture, documentary, abstract, landscape or any other style that expresses the theme. Both analog and digital photos are accepted, as well as black and white and color.

Open call entry form and further exhibition details to be released early June 2026 (Date TBD)
