Oh, and Highsmith Gallery at UNC-Asheville is a nice exhibition space also. I was in a show there about a year ago. The contact person would probably be Eric Tomberlin.

> 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

Again, given the nature of the work, I think University galleries are very good options-- and especially because of the nature of the work-
