Since its founding in 1994, the not-for-profit organization CENTER has nurtured a generation of socially and environmentally engaged photographers and lens-based artists. Their grants, awards, programs, and exhibitions have helped amplify the voices of talents ranging from the photojournalist Anastasia Taylor-Lind to the multidisciplinary artist Laia Abril, many of whom have helped spark important conversations about history, social justice, and photography’s role in opening minds and influencing our futures.
