The Chateau Gallery
A Châteauesque online photography gallery.
TCG Gallery (TCG) is an online photography gallery that was originally established in 2019, as The Chateau Gallery in an abandoned mansion within the Old Louisville Preservation District in Louisville, Kentucky. The gallery operated as an underground art space until our foundry caused a structure fire, forcing its inevitable closure. In 2022, the fire department ordered the gallery to vacate the premises due to numerous safety concerns arising from its unconventional, and somewhat illegal, operations. Although the physical location has closed, TCG continues to operate online. The gallery maintains affiliations with various groups in the East Village counter-culture scene in New York City, and future initiatives are currently being developed. Among our upcoming projects, we're excited to announce a collaboration with the artist collective 'Paradigm Shift' set to launch next spring and starting the second season of TCG in an abandoned Brownstone. Stay tuned.
TCG’s mission is to use our platform to transcend borders and broadcast multi-faceted viewpoints through artistic, ideological, and philosophical exchange. Our current calls for entries, scheduled events, and submission forms are listed on our call for entries page. Check out our exhibitions page for past and current exhibitions. Learn more about TCG and our history by visiting our about page, and contact us if you have any questions. We invite our community and supporters to share their feedback, volunteer their skills, or offer new ideas to support these exciting and unconventional endeavors.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Art of Street Photography
EXHIBITION SUBMISSIONS ARE BEING REVIEWED BY THE JURY.
The Art of Street Photography notifications will be sent on or around December 29th, 2025, due to the holiday season. The jury has significant issues with submissions that are not street photography and/or cross into photojournalism or social documentary photography. They need to be reviewed to comply with the NPPA Code of Ethics. Frankly, a beach is not a street, making something black and white doesn’t make it street photography. Avoid stereotyping individuals and groups. You should not take photos of unhoused people, especially children, and enter them into a competition, period. We may extend this deadline, alter the programming, or send invitations to other photographers if deemed necessary.
The Art of Landscape
December 1st, 2025 - January 1st, 2026
The Art of Landscape is a photography exhibition that expands the definition of “landscape” beyond pastoral views and natural vistas. The exhibition invites photographers whose work spans the realm between the natural and the built, the monumental and the ephemeral. The result is a visual exploration of our relationship to time and place and how humanity is transformed by the environments we inhabit.

Call For Entry: The Beauty in Decay
International Submission Deadline:
January 20th, 2026 11:59 PM
Beauty is subjective in the eye of the viewer. Societal conventions pressure us to conform to like-mindedness, yet the most ethereal craft often originates from divergent work that transgresses tradition. True innovation and creative brilliance often occur when individuals question or break away from established norms. How does your work depict or challenge the concept of beauty? The Beauty in Decay is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative photographic processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
Submission Deadline: January 20th, 2026
Juror Notifications: January 27th, 2026
Format: Online Exhibition
Exhibition: February 1st, 2026 - March 1st, 2026

International Submission Deadline:
February 20th, 2026 11:59 PM
In the Nude Volume No. 2 is a photography exhibition that strips away pretense to confront the raw, unapologetic beauty of the human body. From the divine proportions of antiquity to the stark vulnerability of contemporary flesh, these works expose the nude not as an object to be idealized, but as a living canvas of desire, defiance, and truth. In the Nude Volume No. 2 is an international open call for photographers ages strictly 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative photographic processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
Submission Deadline: February 20th, 2026

Call For Entry: The Narrative
International Submission Deadline:
March 20th, 2026 11:59 PM
A narrative can tell stories about a wide range of subjects, recount tales from religion, myth, legend, history, and literature, or examine existential questions, such as the meaning of life, death, and the nature of reality. A well-crafted narrative can transport us to another time and place, entertain, educate, and inspire or help us to view the world in a new way, reminding us of our shared humanity and the beauty of the world around us. Tell us, what's your story? The Narrative is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative photographic processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
Submission Deadline: March 20th, 2026
