See the world through our lens...

PhotoForward arts and media programs empower artists of all ages to share their own stories through photography, visual arts, community art, and creative writing.

With cameras in their hands and the skills to create images that reflect their world, our artists are documenting their lives from their own perspectives and celebrating their community's history, while defining its future.

Our programs are successful because they are sustainable. Each project includes professional development training and resources for our partner organizations, so they can continue to provide arts-based community programs long into the future.
