DEAR DIANA,

            Wow, that's a great list!  Thanks!  I will have to look into
each of them and discuss them with the board of the Carolinas and Barbados
Legacy Foundation who is behind all of this.  

            Thanks so much!

                                    CHEERS!

                                                BOB

Hey Bob,

Here's a short list of places I know-- but as with most places in the
Southeast, I think photography is (has always been) a very hard sell.  I can
see University galleries really wanting to show your recent work, too,
though that's not a commercial ($$$) venue.  But hope these help.

SECCA, in Winston Salem NC:  http://secca.org/  They're connected with the
State( of NC) now-- so not exactly sure how they run things anymore. 
Green Hill Center for NC Art, in Greensboro NC:  http://www.greenhillnc.org/
The name is misleading-- they do show works that are not just by or about NC
artists/art-- and the curator is very accessible.  It's a very nice venue,
and they do sell work.
Mint Museum in Charlotte:  http://www.mintmuseum.org/visit   (Out of my
league, but you seem interested in Charlotte-- so there it is.)
Cameron Art Museum, Wilmington NC:  http://www.cameronartmuseum.com/
Asheville Art Museum (for a Museum, they are very accessible):
http://www.ashevilleart.org/
Center for Documentary Studies, Duke University:
http://documentarystudies.duke.edu/about  (I *think* they've changed their
policy on unsolicited exhibit proposals-- but you'd have check the website--
I'm not sure).
NC State University Gregg Museum in Raleigh NC:  http://www.ncsu.edu/gregg/
The director there (Roger Manley)  is/was a photographer and film-maker, and
they have an outstanding photography collection.  They just moved into the
NCSU Chancellor's old house-- so it's a gorgeous venue.  I can imagine they
would be interested in this work.
East Carolina University Gray Gallery, in Greenville, NC:  The director, Tom
Braswell, is a fine photographer himself and a very nice man-- knowledgable
and accessible.  Again, I do not know how far in advance (nor how) the
exhibits are chosen-- but it would be an excellent place to show your work:
http://www.ecu.edu/cs-cfac/soad/graygallery/index.cfm

That's all I have for you at the moment.  I think these places probably have
schedules that are booked into 2014, at least-- but it doesn't hurt to
contact them.  Again, given the nature of the work, I think University
galleries are very good options-- and especially because of the nature of
the work-

-Diana
