Crista Dix, Executive Director of the Griffin Museum, will delve into the current trends shaping the world of photography at the January 5th (7:30 PM ET via Zoom) PHSNE meeting. Dix, a passionate advocate for the medium, shares her insights on the evolving landscape of contemporary photography.

One of the most significant trends Dix will highlight is the increasing diversity of photographic voices. Emerging artists from diverse backgrounds are challenging traditional norms and bringing fresh perspectives to the field. The Griffin Museum actively seeks to showcase this diversity, providing a platform for underrepresented photographers to share their stories.

Another notable trend worth discussing is the blurring of lines between photography and other art forms. Artists are experimenting with mixed media, incorporating elements of painting, sculpture, and performance into their photographic work. This interdisciplinary approach is pushing the boundaries of what photography can be.

Dix will also emphasize the growing importance of AI and digital manipulation and its impact on the art form. While traditional film photography still holds a special place in the hearts of many, digital technology has opened up new possibilities for experimentation and creativity. The Griffin Museum embraces this digital revolution, showcasing a wide range of work created using both analog and digital techniques.

The Griffin Museum of Photography, in Winchester, Massachusetts, is more than just a museum; it’s a destination for photographers and photography enthusiasts alike. With a commitment to showcasing the best in contemporary photography, the Griffin Museum offers a unique platform for artists to exhibit their work and for audiences to engage with thought-provoking images.

Besides being a space for exhibitions, the Museum is a community of photographers. It offers a variety of programs and workshops for photographers of all levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals. These programs provide opportunities for artists to connect with one another, share their work, and learn from experts in the field.

Before coming to the Griffin Museum in 2020, Ms. Dix spent fifteen years operating her own photography gallery, wall space creative, closing it in 2020 to make the move to New England and the Griffin. In addition to curating exhibitions and mentoring photographers, she has written essays about photography, been a member of panels and discussions on the craft, juried creative competitions, and has participated in major portfolio reviews across the country.
