Mission Statement

The Los Angeles Center of Photography’s (LACP) mission is to build a community of dedicated photographers and to strengthen the importance of photography as an art form by providing education, events, exhibitions, portfolio reviews, and public programs.

Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

The Los Angeles Center of Photography is home to a thriving community of image makers, collectors and photography enthusiasts, throughout all stages of their creative

journeys. As the only center in Los Angeles dedicated to photographic production, LACP explores a variety of lens-based practices and focuses on the nuances, complexities, and uniqueness of visual storytelling in Southern California. Here things are often not as they seem, and the possibilities to define one’s experience are abundant.

We are delighted to share a new and robust program of exhibitions, events, classes, and workshops with you. Since March 2020, LACP became a hybrid institution, provid-

ing engaging programming, both online and in-person, to communities far and wide. We have been thrilled to welcome new members from across the US, and are now

expanding international travel-based experiences. We created local partnerships with other non-profit organizations and studio spaces, continuing to offer site-specific and carefully curated public programs and educational experiences. We also invite you to explore our new writing program for photographers.

Take your time, browse through these different offerings, and create your own pho-

tographic adventure, wherever you are in the world. Through inspiring exhibitions, programs, mentorships, and learning opportunities, we at LACP are committed to supporting and nurturing your path. We remain grateful for your participation. See you soon!

Sincerely,

Rotem Rozental, Ph.D.
