Deputy Director

As a small staff, we are committed to supporting both emerging and established artists through exhibitions, publications, career development, collection building, project mentorship, lectures, art fairs, and portfolio reviews across the country.

Rooted in the photographic arts, broadly defined, we have a special appreciation for the object, its materiality, its process, and its craft. At the center of our work is conversation: with artists, students, collectors, donors, and the wider community that continues to shape and sustain Candela.
