Membership

Reminders Photography Stronghold is a membership gallery whose goal is to make multi-photographic activities possible to its members through exhibitions, workshops, events, a library, photographers in residence programs and grant publishing opportunities. The Stronghold will be inaugurated in September 2012.

Without your support we cannot operate. If you’d like to join us here is what we can offer you-and by becoming a member we will update you as the space develops and becomes stronger. Membership is for not only for photographers, but also for curators, photo editors, book publishers, and gallerists – both domestic and international.
