The Chateau Gallery
A Châteauesque online photography gallery.
The Chateau is an online photography gallery founded in an abandoned mansion located in the Old Louisville Preservation District. It was conceived in 2019 by Vincent Gorlami, an art school washout, and Hannah Dewitt, a prolific local artist who received a full-tuition scholarship to attend the University of Louisville Master of Fine Arts Program. In late 2021, the Louisville Metro Fire Department ordered the gallery to vacate. Apparently, running an art gallery out of a stolen building is a safety hazard. The physical location has not existed in over four years, but it still exists on the internet. The gallery is loosely affiliated with the squatter scene in New York City, and there's a strong possibility of hosting a few pop-up shows in other reclaimed spaces in the near future. Throughout its many lives, the monolithic and cursed building served as the estate of a tobacco baron, a funeral home, The Kentucky College of Barbering, an unlicensed child care center, a "drug dealer's palace," and a law office. It’s still vacant to this day.
TCG was an avant-garde goliath of brick and mortar, wooden beams, and traditional white gallery walls — a constant construction project occupying a time and place between the antique and the contemporary. 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.

In the Nude 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 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 Landscape
International Submission Deadline:
November 17th, 2025 11:59 PM
The Art of the Landscape is a photography exhibition that expands the definition of “landscape” beyond pastoral views and natural vistas. The exhibition invites photographers whose work includes and traverses 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.
