call for photography: the 4 seasons of rhode island
RISCA invites photographers to submit work for The 4 Seasons of Rhode Island, a curated digital slideshow to be installed on the Regan Unit. This project will provide patients with a calming, art-based alternative to standard television programming within activity and therapy spaces. Selected images will be paired with original music by Rhode Island composers to create a seasonally inspired slideshow.
A total of 40 images will be selected;10 for each season (summer, fall, winter, spring). To ensure broad representation, each photographer may submit one image only.
Photographers will retain copyright ownership of their work. The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts will receive a non-exclusive, perpetual license to display the selected image as part of the RISCA Channel project at Regan Unit for non-commercial use.
The selected imagery should support a calming, meditative atmosphere within a hospital setting. The panel encourages artists to submit photography that reflects seasonal change through landscape, wildlife, coastal environments, gardens, parks, recognizable landmarks, and other meaningful Rhode Island locations. Familiar and identifiable places throughout the state are encouraged, as recognizable imagery may provide comfort and grounding for viewers.
