Photography without the museum fog machine.
TCG Gallery presents curated online exhibitions, international calls for entry, artist resources, and long-term exhibition archives for photographers and lens-based artists worldwide.
Submit the work that won’t behave.
Memory and Elemental lead the current call cycle. Use the main Call for Entries page for current deadlines, eligibility, submission guidelines, and live entry links.
Memory: What Remains
Personal, collective, cultural, historical, and imagined memory: traces, archives, absence, inheritance, identity, place, and what refuses to disappear.
Elemental
Earth, air, fire, and water as physical forces and symbolic structures: weather, atmosphere, erosion, heat, flood, smoke, stone, breath, survival, and transformation.
We believe money should not prevent strong work from being considered. Submission fees help cover the administrative and promotional costs of running each call, including review, file management, website upkeep, and advertising. A limited number of fee waivers are available in specific circumstances. Email us before the submission deadline to request one.
The Surreal 2026
Forty-eight works by thirty-three artists move through five chapters of unstable rooms, fractured bodies, domestic rituals, constructed worlds, and the strange afterlife of the dream.

Independent. Artist-run. Built for photography.
Formerly The Chateau Gallery, TCG Gallery is an independent, New York City-based online photography gallery with roots in Louisville, Kentucky.
What began inside a Châteauesque Victorian mansion in Louisville became an artist-run gallery, survived the end of formal public use, and continued online as a permanent exhibition archive.
Bring the photograph that keeps looking back.
