Hello again.
Yahoooooo. We have great news!
You and your monsoon image and/or timelapse has been selected by our jurors to be included in the BRILL Gallery & Studio Monsoon show opening September 19th & 20th, 2025, 6-10pm and closing October 17th, 2025, 6-10pm.
We are so excited to have you be part of a very talented group of photographers from around the state.
So what's next?
A lot...but we are here to walk you though it step by step.

Complete and submit this agreement form.

Presentation of your images is very important. Due to the amount of images in the show, the finished size of your image should be no larger than 30x40 and must be hung by a wire.
You can be creative here on how you present the image in the gallery but remember that the presentation of the image is just as important as the image itself. We recommend printing on metal or traditional print/mat and frame. Printing directly on foam or gatorboard will not be accepted this year. You really want to present your photography in a way that the buyer can take it off the gallery wall and put it direct in their home or office. Remember the final product can not be larger than 30x40. We are happy to help give you guidance in the final presentation of your image.
We have teamed up with Phoenix Photo Lab again this year for printing and they have given us a discount "code" to use when ordering/checkout. Get 40% off of our Professional Photo Paper prints (Enhanced Matte, Lustre, or Glossy) on standard print sizes.
Use code: "MONSOON"
This code is valid now through September 9th for you.
Phx Photo Lab can also matt/frame or give you other ideas to present your images. And of course you can use your own print shop if you like.
Images must be delivered to BRILL Gallery & Studio either September 6th 9a-12p OR September 15th 12p-1p OR September 17th 9a-7p. Remember you will record your audio description at this time as well so come prepared.

Please email Andrew (owner) at apielage@gmail.com to set up a time to drop off the finished artwork (with wire) and record your short audio story. Drop off and audio recording must be done by September 17th. Images must be picked up after Closing Night of the show no later than October 31st, 2025.
We want the gallery to be more than a visual space, that's why we have included audio QR codes for each image again this year. It's really a great time to share the behind-the-scenes of your photo. It's always more interesting to hear directly from the photographer, so come prepared with some thoughts or even a written script for your image. Some ideas:
How did you got the shot?
What lead up to pushing the shutter button down to take the shot?
Did you almost die? =)
How long have you been storm chasing?
What equipment do you use?
You don't have to talk about all of these , they are just ideas for you.

Again, it takes a village and the BRILL Gallery & Studio is community based. Our goal is to bring photographers together each month to celebrate our fellow creatives as well as meet other photographers from around the state. It's also a space for non photographers to come together and talk about photography.
We want the community to come be involved in your creative journey and potentially buy your photograph so inviting your friends, family, clients, and co-workers is the best way to support you.
Having your people RSVP, this helps us plan best for opening and closing nights.
This will be written on the Confirmation Email / Ticket as well, but please do let them know to bring headphones so they can listen to the story you and others will be telling about your photographs using the QR codes scanned by visitors phones.
We will be providing you some social media visuals for you to help promote the show, be sure to tag @brillgallery in your posts.
Download the social media artwork promos (zip file). You’ll also find a button below along side the payment QR code options.
We also have a small entrance fee of $5 to come see the art. A lot of things are needed to pull off this show and that small entrance fee helps us offset those costs. You, as the artist will not have to pay and you will also receive two free passes to get any two of your people in for free. Those vouchers will be emailed to you when we get closer to opening night.
Please direct everyone you know =) to RSVP here: https://www.apizm.com/brill-gallery-and-studio-monsoon-show-rsvp
