Calling all photographers! The Lakeway Arts District is seeking submissions for the debut Women in Photography art exhibit, which will be on display from March 1-30, 2024 at the Lake Travis Community Library in celebration of Women’s History Month. This exhibit will feature the work of local photographers, showcasing their diverse perspectives and talents as well as compelling photographic portraits of women subjects.

All are welcome to enter their creative photographic expressions as we celebrate women’s history, issues, and rights. We encourage photographers to explore themes of voting, equality, health, beauty, motherhood, and more, whether through abstract or realistic photographic representations.

We are looking for photographs of all styles and genres, including portraiture, landscape, documentary, abstract, and more. We are particularly interested in photographs that explore the female experience, challenge stereotypes, and showcase equality.
