We’re reimagining what can be. Our new space is being thoughtfully designed to support artists and audiences in more expansive ways:

• Two exhibition galleries for concurrent shows and installations
• A dedicated education space for year-round workshops and creative development

This expansion will allow us to deepen our support for contemporary photographers, while creating more opportunities for connection, learning, and experimentation.
