Join us for a morning event of conversation and critique. We are excited to provide our members an opportunity to network, grow, ask questions and get critical feedback about a body of work either in process or complete.

Join usSaturday February 24th from 8.30am-11.30amfor our roundtable peer-run portfolio critique group. Engage with 10 other Griffin members to network, socialize, and provide one another feedback on your portfolios. We'll provide coffee and light refreshments. See you there!

There are countless possibilities to choose from when bringing your photography to the book form. In this 2-hour presentation, Susan Kae Grant and Mary Virginia Swanson share and discuss highlights from their personal libraries including published, self-published, handmade artists' books, and collaborative productions. Their selections are intended to inform and inspire participants to expand their awareness of photobooks today.

We invite creators to come and explore with Polaroid Now+ and the new Polaroid Lab to see how your experiments can unlock new realms of color, vision and creativity in your work.

No two people are the same, like no two Polaroid shots are the same. In life, just like in our photography, it's our imperfections that make us unique.

Inspired by The Polaroid Project: At the Intersection of Art and Technology, which began with a retrospective exhibit at MIT, and is currently touring the world, we want you to be motivated by the moment.
