Greetings!

Happy Spring!

To celebrate, En Foco is going GREEN! We are switching over to paperless e-announcements and want to make sure you remain informed about our exhibitions and events.

Only members will continue to receive paper announcements (and subscribers/members will continue to receive Nueva Luz of course).

We hope you'll become a member for additional benefits, or subscribe to Nueva Luz. We've created other methods of communication, so feel free to peruse our blog, facebook and enjoy photos from our events on our flickr group.

En Foco is a non-profit organization that nurtures and supports contemporary fine art and documentary photographers of diverse cultures, primarily U.S. residents of Latino, African and Asian heritage, and Native Peoples of the Americas and the Pacific. Founded in 1974, En Foco makes their work visible to the art world, yet remains accessible to under-serviced communities. Through exhibitions, workshops, events and publications, it provides professional recognition, honoraria and assistance to photographers as they grow into different stages of their careers.
