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. |

There are a number of ways you can show your support: - Renew your membership
- Join at a higher level
- Add an additional tax deductible donation
- Volunteer your time
- Buy some ART from APG!

Please help shape APG's future by getting involved this year.

The time has come: Start thinking Outside the Frame.
This year, In Your Dreams is taking a break. 2012 is the year to think Outside the Frame. Come this May, we want to fill the gallery with photoworks that will amaze and amuse, astound and confound. We challenge each and every one of you to come up with something new and different. Mix media. Use light boxes. Make videos. Print on cloth, canvas, metal, plastic. Integrate text. Shoot in 3-D. Make photo-sculptures. Force Photoshop to do things it didn't know it could do. Get conceptual. The sky's the limit, so break the rules. (Yes, you can put it in a frame, and you can print on paper, but no straight photography allowed.) Details will follow, but you get the drift. Go now, get to work!

Tasks include updating the database with new and renewing memberships, acknowledging new members, notify expiring members and correcting membership information. Experience with Microsoft XL spreadsheet preferred but not necessary for all tasks. Volunteers will be trained. Please contact Don Bryant for more information.
