Content Considerations
All Gallery members or guests are encouraged to consider the following questions when proposing an exhibition or selecting content to be shown in the Gallery:
-
Have you addressed any personal connection to the community/culture/institution or subject that you plan to portray in your images? Are you a member of this community? Do you have support from this community to exhibit?
-
Have you sought community involvement in a meaningful way? Will this involvement continue throughout the exhibit? If so, in what way?
-
Will this exhibition further the current artistic discourses regarding this community/culture/institution or is it contributing to dated models of appreciation?
-
Have you addressed appropriate protocols and permissions from the community?
-
If appropriate, are these communities being properly compensated for their work?
-
Are you anticipating any community challenges for this exhibition because of content?
-
Have you used generative AI in the creation of any of your images? Is so, please describe extent and purpose of usage.
We welcome conversations around these issues.
ViewPoint Gallery’s board has the ultimate decision-making authority in accepting or rejecting any content for our exhibition or electronic publication.
