TCG Gallery, formerly The Chateau Gallery, is an independent contemporary photography gallery and artist-run collective with roots in Louisville, Kentucky and an expanding presence in New York City. The gallery traces its origins to a Victorian mansion in Louisville's Historic Old Louisville Preservation District. Located on Third Street's Millionaire's Row, the building served as both inspiration and namesake for the gallery before its transition into an online exhibition platform.
Today, TCG Gallery presents juried exhibitions, open calls, publications, and special projects featuring emerging, mid-career, and established artists from around the world.
Our mission is simple: present strong work, create meaningful opportunities for artists, and maintain professional exhibition standards that are accessible to a broad creative community. We believe compelling art can come from anywhere, and we are committed to providing artists with opportunities to exhibit, connect, and reach new audiences.
The Art of Abandonment
June 8, 2026 - August 1, 2026
Every abandoned place was once important to someone.
The Art of Abandonment brings together photographs of forgotten structures, overlooked objects, and landscapes shaped by time. Factories fall silent, homes stand empty, businesses close, and possessions are left behind, yet traces of human presence remain.
Rather than documenting ruin alone, these photographs explore memory, change, and the passage of time. They ask us to look beyond decay and consider the lives, histories, and experiences embedded within the spaces we leave behind.
Through photography, these fleeting remnants are preserved, transforming absence into something visible once again.

New Journal Entry: Why Exhibition Deadlines Are Sometimes Extended
The Surreal explores the strange space where reality stops behaving.
For this exhibition, we are looking for photographic works that distort the familiar, unsettle perception, or reveal the dream logic hiding inside everyday life. The surreal does not have to be loud, theatrical, or digitally impossible. It can appear in a strange shadow, an uncanny gesture, a misplaced object, a distorted body, a vacant room, a symbolic landscape, or a moment that feels almost normal until it doesn’t.
We welcome images that blur the line between the real and imagined, the beautiful and unsettling, the conscious and unconscious. Submissions may engage with dreams, memory, desire, fear, absurdity, fantasy, hallucination, transformation, or psychological tension.
The Surreal asks artists to show us a world bent out of shape, where logic slips, meaning multiplies, and the ordinary becomes impossible to trust.

Call For Entry: Memory: What Remains
Submission Deadline:
August 20, 2026
Photography has always occupied a unique position between documentation and remembrance. It preserves fragments of experience, records histories, and captures moments that might otherwise disappear. Yet memory is rarely fixed. It shifts, fades, distorts, resurfaces, and evolves over time. What remains is often incomplete: a photograph, a place, an object, a gesture, a face, or a feeling that persists long after the original moment has passed.
We welcome photographs that examine the traces people leave behind and the ways in which the past continues to shape the present. Memory may be found in family archives, abandoned places, domestic interiors, personal artifacts, landscapes, portraits, traditions, rituals, communities, or the quiet evidence of lives once lived. We are equally interested in photographs that explore absence, nostalgia, loss, inheritance, identity, belonging, and the passage of time.
Memory does not have to be represented literally. We encourage submissions that approach the theme through documentary, fine art, conceptual, experimental, and alternative photographic practices. The strongest work often exists in the space between remembering and forgetting.
