Neko at the Gate, an image by Julia Hallee, was selected for inclusion in the Online Gallery of the On the Street Exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont. PhotoPlace invited photographers to submitimages that reflect the beauty, humor, tension, and humanity found in everyday moments of the unscripted rhythm of life. Elizabeth Avedon, a photography book and exhibition designer; independent curator and writer; and faculty member of the Photography / Video and Digital Photography Departments at the school of Visual Arts in New York, was the juror. Neko at the Gate was taken in Tokyo.  The exhibition ran from February 6 through February 28; and all the images are online. Those in the Exhibition Gallery can be seen at https://photoplacegallery.com/online-juried-shows/on-the-street-2/gallery/exhibition-gallery; and those in the Online Gallery can be seen at https://photoplacegallery.com/online-juried-shows/on-the-street-2/gallery/online-gallery.

 

PhotoPlace Gallery, located in the oldest remaining residence in Middlebury, offers monthly juried exhibitions to photographers worldwide, each with a new topic and an internationally recognized juror. All images selected for the Exhibition Gallery will hang in the physical gallery for the duration of the exhibit; and those selected for the Online Gallery will be viewable in the gallery by continuous-loop projection. Images from both galleries remain permanently on the website, are reproduced in the exhibition catalog, and are promoted on social media.
