People see the geometry of patterns in natural and man-made objects and also in human activities. Consider these configurations: flowers in a garden, trees in a forest, waves of the sea, skins of animals, window panes, furniture arrangements, table settings, city street grids, architectural features, parade maneuvers, dance choreography, pedestrian movement, children playing, sidewalk shadows, store displays, wallpaper and textiles. Formalized, traditional patterns can represent cultural / religious symbols such as a cross, star, mandala and even the visual details of flags can assume powerful significance. And, of course, structured or random designs of abstract art and collages integrate compelling pictorial elements that can evoke a strong emotional response.

They welcome submissions in contemporary jewelry, metalwork, and small-to-medium-scale sculpture. Works may engage a broad spectrum of materials including metal, stone, plastic, fiber, glass, wood, or found objects—any media that help articulate the maker’s vision of the future.

"This fall, the Photographic Resource Center (PRC) will welcome two artists—working independently yet side by side—to transform our gallery into a shared open studio for four weeks.

This residency supports ongoing or evolving projects in photography, video, installation, or interdisciplinary practices. In addition, each artist will create at least one new piece that engages with the PRC’s legacy—drawing on past exhibitions, printed materials, or archival ephemera—as a point of reflection, contrast, or inspiration.

This might take the form of a reimagined work, a text-based response, an archival intervention, or even a contextual nod in wall text or programming. Our goal is to foster experimentation while encouraging artists to consider the institutional frameworks that shape photographic history.
