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 8th, 2026 - July 1st, 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.

Exhibition: The Narrative
May 1st, 2026 - June 1st, 2026
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 your story is?
Featuring: Adam Mille, Alyssa Maurer, Anthony Striplen, Barbara Ringer, Beamie Young, Brian Hallas, Colin Ward, David Cohen, David Miller, Dominic Lippillo, Eliot Allen, Howard Pohl, Ivan in Abstracts, Jingyin Che, Joe Geyer, Joseph Sharketti, Joy Island Lei, Kylo-Patrick Hart, Linda Lewis, Makenzie Goodman, Marilou Encarnacion, Melora Walters, Nanci Hellmuth, Nick Perry, Patrick O'Brien, Scott Anderson, Sean Brown, Theo Boccara, Tiffany Bolk, Zsuzsa Megyesi
Call For Entry: The Surreal
Submission Deadline:

Surrealism is an artistic exploration of the human psyche, dreams, and the unconscious mind. Through bizarre and fantastical scenes, juxtaposition, or symbolism, we challenge you to capture and present images that defy logic and question the boundary of perception. Invite us to a realm where the conscious and unconscious blur and reality transform into the surreal. The Surreal is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative photographic processes with an analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.

Call For Entry: Memory: What Remains
Submission Deadline:
July 25th, 2026 11:59 PM
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.
