🗓️ Join the instructor on Tuesday, August 4 from 6:30 to 8 PM online and learn more about how the Atelier 2 program will challenge and give you the skills you need to take your project to the next level.

RSVP at the link in bio.

This event is free and open to the public.

📸 About Atelier 2

This four-month program is intended for intermediate to advanced photographers who already have a project in motion—an idea and passion they have begun to photograph—but who seek support in further developing and refining the work.

📸 Class Perks

Among the many benefits of participating, students enrolled in this program receive a one-on-one review with a photography professional, whether a gallerist or museum curator. The program also culminates in a printed Griffin catalog distributed by the Museum and an online exhibition on the Griffin Museum’s and Photography Atelier’s websites.

📸Is this class the right fit for me?

The class is open for artists who value growth over validation and are willing to enter the “messy middle” of experimentation, research, doubt, revision, and breakthrough. Participants should be prepared for a rigorous process of image-making, critique, discussion, and thoughtful engagement with the work of others. If this sounds like you, it’s time to
