About Vision(ary)
Vision(ary) is the Griffin Museum of Photography's annual summer public art exhibition dedicated to the art of visual storytelling. This public art installation features individual exhibitions with distinct photographic styles, including banners hung on light standards and art installations around the Griffin Museum.From the Civil Rights Movement to contemporary struggles for racial equity, gender justice, environmental protection, labor rights, immigration reform, and democratic accountability, protest has shaped the American narrative.Photography has been central to this history--documenting resistance, amplifying voices, and creating images that define collective memory.In the light of America's 250th anniversary, this year's edition, Raising Our Voices, presents photographic projects that focus on advocacy, social justice, and activism within the United States--past or present.Vision(ary) is supported by the Winchester Cultural District, Winchester Cultural Council, John & Mary Murphy Foundation, En Ka Society, Winchester Rotary, Winchester Savings Bank, Griffin Museum Directors Circle, and other cultural and private partners. The exhibition concept and Photo Cube structures are designed by our long time producing partner, Photoville.
