Join the New York Chapter of ARLIS/NA for a visit to the NYPL Photography Collection!
The Photography Collection was created in 1980, when images culled from other NYPL departments and branches were brought together to form a new division that now comprises approximately 500,000 photographs by 6,000 photographers. The Photography Collection encompasses the broadest range of the medium, including images made for commercial, industrial, and scientific application as well as images for the press and other print media, the vernacular of amateur snapshot photography and original works intended for exhibition and/or the art market.
This visit will be capped at 25 participants and registration is limited to members of ARLIS/NA's New York Chapter.
If you have any questions about the visit, feel free to reach out to Bridget O’Keefe, Programming Coordinator at bridget_okeefe@moma.org.
