Thank you for being a member of our Griffin creative community!
As a member, you are part of a worldwide community of artists, hobbyists, patrons and art lovers all engaged in the craft of photography. Our exhibitions, events and educational programs immerse us all in the photographic arts, in person and online, through our connection to each other, and to the artists leading the way in using photography as their primary medium.
Through our exhibitions, programs and lectures, we encourage a broader understanding and appreciation of the visual, emotional and social impact of photography. As an institution, we are committed to insuring that our mindset, practice, outreach, programming and exhibitions build programs and exhibitions that consider diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion through our mission that is centered around the photograph.
