Aurora PhotoCenter’s mission is to support visual artists working in photography through exhibitions, residencies, workshops, visiting artist talks, and access to creative tools. As the only nonprofit in Indiana devoted exclusively to photography, Aurora is an essential hub for the medium in our arts community. Aurora also serves as a bridge between local artists and the greater photographic community, with a regional, national, and international scope. Aurora is passionate about photography’s emotional and social power as an art medium in its own right.
Aurora’s exhibitions highlight emerging work by local artists and foster new ideas, inspiration, and connections to our arts community by featuring the work of internationally exhibiting, award winning photographers.
Aurora’s residencies offer invaluable opportunities for artistic development and exchange and highlight our Indianapolis arts community as a center of creative production.
Aurora’s workshops introduce artists to new skills and ways of working, providing access to ever-changing technology in a collaborative environment.
Aurora’s visiting artist talks keep local artists connected to the current dialog on photography beyond our community.
Aurora’s public-access darkroom and digital imaging area offer access to creative tools for the production of images from camera to print.
