Celebrating the Art of Photography...
Welcome to the Griffin Museum of Photography, a nonprofit organization dedicated solely to the art
of photography. Through our many exhibitions, programs and lectures, we strive to encourage a
broader understanding and appreciation of the visual, emotional and social impact of photographic
art.
At the Griffin Museum, you will find exhibitions from well-known photographers to those emerging on
the scene that explore important themes and thought-provoking ideas. All of our exhibitions and
programs are designed to encourage the passionate exploration of the art of photography.

16th Juried Exhibition
Congratulations to all of the photographers selected to be
in the 16th juried exhibition. The show that Joerg Colberg has assembled is a wonderful body of
work that reflects his personal vision, and, at the same time, is a cohesive body of work that we
think everyone will enjoy. Every year, each juror brings a completely new dimension to the juried
exhibition. It is never the same. It is always quite exciting to see the exhibition take shape.
While it is a thrill to be accepted into an exhibition, we realize it is also a disappointment not
to be accepted. Please do not let disappointment overshadow your commitment to photography if you
did not get accepted into the exhibition. Continue competing and sharing your work. Continue to
keep us informed of any work we might find interesting for our gallery spaces and submit materials
to future Griffin Museum competitions.
Now that the jury process is over we will send back all print submissions. Print submissions that
were not accompanied by a self addressed stamped envelope will be discarded.
