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 strive to encourage a broader understanding and appreciation of the visual, emotional and social impact of photographic art. As an institution, we are committed to insuring that our mindset, practice, outreach, programming and exhibitions prioritize building programs and exhibitions that consider diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion through our mission that is centered around the photograph.
To accomplish this goal we appreciate and rely upon the generosity of our members. Your donations and membership dues enable us to showcase new exhibits, fund educational programs and meet our yearly operating costs.
Your membership donation is tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Goods or services received for membership are not included in the tax deduction. The Griffin Museum of Photography is a nonprofit organization (501(c)3)
