ABOUT - 
Opened in 2009, the Annenberg Space for Photography is a cultural destination dedicated to exhibiting both digital and print photography in an intimate environment. The space features state-of-the-art, high-definition digital technology as well as traditional prints by some of the world's most renowned photographers and a selection of emerging photographic talents as well. The venue, an initiative of the Annenberg Foundation and its trustees, is the first solely photographic cultural destination in the Los Angeles area, and it creates a new paradigm in the world of photography.

"Photography is one of the most accessible and personal forms of art. We see the creation of the Annenberg Space for Photography as a service to the community where visitors can see the world through a different lens and leave feeling motivated to make positive change." ~ Wallis Annenberg - Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation

PHILANTHROPIC MISSION
The Annenberg Foundation exists to advance public well-being through improved communication. With its long history of grantmaking to support the exchange of ideas and knowledge, the Foundation is enhancing its direct involvement in the community. The Annenberg Space for Photography informs and inspires the public by connecting photographers, philanthropy and the human experience through powerful imagery and stories.

DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE
The interior design is influenced by the mechanics of a camera and its lens. The central, circular digital gallery is contained within the square building to create an architectural metaphor for a convex lens. Even the ceiling features a striking, iris-like design that is reminiscent of the aperture of a lens.

The Space is a cultural environment where people can exchange ideas, learn and explore different topics, and is designed to serve many different functions. In addition to the print and digital galleries, the rear portion of the building features a photography reading room and a workshop area that includes a residential-style kitchen for special programs.

TECHNOLOGY AT THE SPACE
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY MEETS ARTISTRY
Seamless 13’ glass screens display photography in 4K resolution with stunning clarity and saturation. The Digital Gallery allows for the display of thousands of images in a comparatively small location. In addition to showing images from the exhibiting photographers, the Digital Gallery screens short documentary films created to accompany the print exhibits.

READING ROOM
The Space contains an area filled with books to educate and inspire visitors about the art of photography. Guests are encouraged to explore this unique art form through the many different titles available, and, in many cases, read about the very photographers featured in the current exhibit.
