Please join us in our mission to support photographic artists and makers and share the benefits of our programming with a wider audience. Contributions to our Year-End Campaign help fund our year-round exhibition, educational, and professional
development programming. 

 

The majority of our programming is free and open to the public, including artist talks, lectures, exhibitions, and community events. Whether in-person or via Zoom, Filter Photo offers a community of makers and patrons opportunities throughout the year to foster a creative practice, connect with other artists and photographers, and learn new skills—supporting an ever-growing community of people who simply love photography.

2021 Filter Photo Year in Review

  • Filter Photo Festival was in-person once again! We celebrated our 13th year at the 21c Museum Hotel.

  • We hosted a total of 450 portfolio reviews, in addition to both in-person and online workshops.

  • At Filter Space, we exhibited 148 artists across 10 exhibitions, including 5 solo exhibitions.

  • We hosted 14 artist talks and lectures plus year-round critique groups and community-building events.

  • We launched the inaugural Filter Photo Fellow.

  • We gathered with friends at our first Summer Block Party, Photo Dock.

  • We joined The Other Art Fair as a community partner and featured a selection of Chicago and Milwaukee-based artists.

​

As we look ahead to a new year, please considering supporting our Year-End Campaign to help us reach even greater milestones in 2022! Contributions from people like you—artists, photographers, curators, collectors, and patrons of all kinds—constitute a significant portion of our annual operating budget and are essential to our ongoing operations.
