Juror

Our juror for the Small Works is Michael Pannier. Pannier is an internationally shown fine art and commercial photographer now located in Greenville, SC. Previously based in Maryland, Michael has spent over 30 years in photography and 35 years in the gallery and art world, opening his first gallery in the Washington, DC, suburbs in 1987.

Michael is represented in galleries across the country, a frequent exhibition juror and curator, portfolio reviewer, and speaker on the business of fine art. When not in South Carolina he can be found leading photographic expeditions in Death Valley and the Eastern Sierras.

Relocating to South Carolina, The SE Center for Photography was born as an exhibition and education venue for fine photography. Following the success of the SE Center for Photography, the SE Center for Art was founded. With an emphasis on presenting the work of emerging and mid career artists, the SE Centers have hosted more than 150 exhibitions.

Exhibition Details

35-40 selected images will hang in the SE Center’s virtual gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG) and an archived, online slide show. A catalog will be printed for each exhibition, and awards for Juror’s Choice and Peoples Choice will be awarded.
