About Us
 Photo courtesy of Chip Simone 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. |
