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.

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.
