About Us

Atlanta Photography Group Gallery

   APG's primary goal is to promote and support contemporary photography as a significant art form. It seeks to challenge photographic conventions, stimulate new thinking and exploration of experimental forms of photographic expression.

 

These goals are supported through a wide range of activities that are overseen by a Board of Directors, an Advisory Board and a Curatorial Panel drawn from the Atlanta photographic community.

 

The Atlanta Photography Group (APG) is an artist-initiated 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization.
