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. |

It's time for the annual push pin show at APG! No framing, no jurors, no theme! Simply bring your photos and pin them to the wall with push pins provided by the gallery. The gallery doors are locked until 7:30pm, but the line begins to form much earlier. So bring a friend, or make some new friends while you nab your space in line. Wall space is first-come, first-served.
Can't be there by 7:30? Stop by anyway. High or low, as long as you can find a space on the wall, it's yours! Wall space per photographer is limited to 3 - 16 x 20 prints, or 960 square inches. Look for more details in the next newsletter, but mark it on your calendar now!
**Do you have any vintage photos or memorabilia from APG events? We would love to display them during Push Pin! Please mail or drop at the gallery any time, or bring them with you on 2/24.

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!
