TCG Gallery
A Châteauesque online photography gallery.
TCG Gallery (TCG) is an online photography gallery established in 2019 as The Chateau Gallery in an abandoned mansion within the Old Louisville Preservation District in Louisville, Kentucky. The Chateau Gallery operated as an underground art space and served as the successor to Louisville’s Lava House and The Mammoth Art Space, without building permits or safety inspections. In late 2022, our foundry caused a structure fire, and the Louisville Metro Fire Department ordered the gallery to cease operating on the premises due to numerous safety concerns arising from its unconventional, and somewhat illegal, operations. Although the physical location has closed, TCG Gallery continues to operate online. TCG Gallery administration and contributors have since relocated to New York City and maintain affiliations with various groups in Louisville and the East Village counter-culture scene. The reboot is set to launch this summer in another reclaimed urban space, 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. We invite our community and supporters to share their feedback, volunteer their skills, or offer new ideas to support these exciting and unconventional endeavors.
In the Nude Volume No. 2
March 10th, 2026 - April 15th, 2026
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.

Call For Entry: The Narrative
International Submission Deadline:
April 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.

Call For Entry: The Art of Abandonment
Submission Deadline:
May, 20th 2026 11:59 PDT
The Art of Abandonment explores abandoned and rediscovered objects, locations, and structures. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the memory of ourselves: and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and ephemera convey about humanity as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and whom or what are we abandoning?
