 ABOUTNEPR 
 
 Since 2009 the Griffin Museum of Photography has created a gathering
  space bringing reviewers and photographers together from New England
  and beyond for two days of discussion\, networking\, and gaining fresh
  perspective on one's work. 
 
 NEPR serves photographers who are just embarking on their careers\,
  and more established photographers\, all hoping to reach new audiences
  and gain fresh perspective on their work. 
 
 The online format allows for an expansion of participants in volume
  and in location including reviewers such as gallerists\, book
  publishers\, museum professionals\, critics\, educators and advisors
  from all over the world who provide guidance and potential
  opportunities to grow artist practices. 
 
 ARTIST INDEX 
 
 The 2026 NEPR Artist Index is a compendium of the participating
  artists from across the country along with the six scholarship
  students from around New England. It will be available to everyone for

 From gallerists\, publishers\, independent consultants\, nonprofit
  leaders\, museum professionals\, and curators\, we convened an
  exceptional network of reviewers dedicated to supporting artists\,
  fostering meaningful dialogue\, and advancing the future of
  photographic practice.
 
 Through our New England Portfolio Review Programs\, we brought
  together more than 70 photographic artists and some of the most
  influential voices in the photographic and adjacent
  industries--sparking critical dialogue\, cultivating lasting
  professional relationships\, and championing the growth\, visibility\,
  and future of contemporary photographic practice in New England and
  beyond.
 
 KEYNOTE SPEAKER 
 
 Tabitha Soren explores the expansive power of photography by pushing
  its material limits and embracing its unreliable nature. She probes
  the surface of the photograph to unlock the rich history of the medium
  and experiments with sculptural and painterly interventions to further
  complicate the inherent uncertainty of the picture. This layered
  approach underscores not only the bounds of the viewer's perception
  but also makes visible the psychological states of Soren's subject
  matter\, creating a tension between what is seen and what lies
  underneath.Website | Instagram
