FROM THE JUDGE WITH JOHN STECK, JR.

Saturday, January 10, 2026 (10am)

Join the Rehoboth Art League for a conversation with juror and judge of the 11th Regional Juried Photography Exhibition, John Steck, Jr., who will discuss his jurying process and award decisions.

John Steck Jr. is a visual artist and educator who resides in Baltimore, MD. He is a maker of photographic images and ephemeral objects. Using light-sensitive emulsions, he creates photographs that both fade and form over time. This work addresses our complex relationship with time, memory, and impermanence.

Steck has exhibited across twenty states and six countries. His most recent solo exhibition, A Silver Memory, which highlighted over ten years of his artistic practice, took place in 2024 at the Moreau Gallery at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, IN. In the summer of 2025, he presented on his project, Beneath the Layers, as part of the Metamorphosis of Time conference at the University of Gdansk in Poland. Steck has been included in over fifty publications, including a feature in Art21 Magazine as part of an article on the ephemeral nature of art. He is also a member of the International Society for the Study of Time.

Steck is a first-generation graduate who received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and his BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design. He has been an educator for ten years and is currently the Photography Coordinator and Senior Lecturer for the Center of Visual Arts at Johns Hopkins University.
