North Georgia Photography Experience presents fine art photography exhibitions, lectures and interactive family events that showcase the area’s vibrant photographic art.

Collectors, visitors to the area and families have opportunities to see new works, learn more about photography as a fine art, and actively participate in photo shoots and other events.

Photographers have opportunities to show their works, meet collectors and grow professionally by sharing and networking with other photographers.

Galleries and art organizations have opportunities to expose their collectors and visitors to new works via invitational, juried or open photography exhibitions.
