PHOTO FARM’s mission is to cultivate artistic expression and community.
OUR MISSION
(SCROLL DOWN)
PHOTO FARM invites artists to create records of our collective and individual experiences. To disconnect for the sake of connection and to embrace in-person exploration.
At PHOTO FARM, we celebrate the reciprocal exchange of knowledge, inspiration and personal histories. We nourish the idea that, in an ever-changing evolution, we are all teachers and students in one lifetime. PHOTO FARM provides the space to be both.
