Picturing the Future | Support the Griffin Museum's Futures Fund

We invite you to a special evening of creativity, community, and support for photography and the Griffin Museum.

This year, our museum faces unprecedented challenges, and we need your support more than ever. Arts institutions worldwide are facing a critical financial crisis, and we are not immune. Your generous contribution is crucial to our survival, and it will allow us to continue to explore and showcase the ever-changing world of photography for years to come.

We have set a goal of raising $25,000 to support our exhibitions, education, programs and operations.
