Celebrating the Art of Photography...

Welcome to the Griffin Museum of Photography, a nonprofit organization dedicated solely to the art of photography. Through our many exhibitions, programs and lectures, we strive to encourage a broader understanding and appreciation of the visual, emotional and social impact of photographic art.

At the Griffin Museum, you will find exhibitions from well-known photographers to those emerging on the scene that explore important themes and thought-provoking ideas. All of our exhibitions and programs are designed to encourage the passionate exploration of the art of photography.

GRIFFIN MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY NAMES 2010 FOCUS AWARD RECIPIENTS

Since 2006 the Griffin Museum has given an annual award to recognize individuals who have made critical contributions to the promotion of photography.

The prestigious Focus Awards are presented in three categories: The Life Time Achievement Award, given to an individual whose ongoing commitment to photography has created far reaching impact; the Rising Star award given to an emerging force that the photographic community is watching with great enthusiasm; and the New England Beacon, recognizing a local individual whose work brings prominence to the local photographic scene. This year's recipients are:

• Life Time Achievement - James K. Colton, photography editor, Sport Illustrated, presented by Steve Fine, Director of Photography, Sports Illustrated
• Rising Star - David Bram, founder, Fraction Magazine presented by Mary Virginia Swanson, Marketing Consultant
• New England Beacon - Alan Taylor, creator, The Big Picture Blog, The Boston Globe/Boston.com presented by Finbarr O'Reilly, Chief Photographer, West & Central Africa, Reuters
