May 28, 2026 – The Savannah Center for Photography will open its doors to the public June 26 with the debut of Savannah’s first nonprofit community darkroom, gallery and photography workshop space.
The grand opening will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 26, at 2205 Price St. The event will feature “SCP Presents,” an exhibition of original work by local photographers available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting the new 501(c)(3) organization.
Guests will be able to tour the newly equipped black-and-white darkroom and learn about the Savannah Center for Photography’s membership program, which includes annual support tiers and monthly studio memberships that provide facility access. Admission is free and open to the public.
“Savannah has a deep tradition of creativity and visual culture, and we believe it’s long overdue for a space dedicated entirely to the craft of photography,” said Joshua Yates, founder and board chair of the Savannah Center for Photography. “This is a place for professionals, hobbyists, people who are just getting started, and anyone who simply appreciates the photographic arts.”
The organization’s founding board includes:
• Steve Bliss, board member, professor emeritus of photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design whose work is held in museum collections nationally and internationally.
• Erin Dunn, board member, curator of modern and contemporary art at Telfair Museums and co-founder of Gallery 2424.
• Joshua Lindsey, board member, co-founder of the Savannah Photo Club and Shade Magazine, whose monthly events engage more than 100 local creatives.
• Caitie Moore, secretary, photographer and arts administrator with experience at FRONT International and the Society for Photographic Education.
• Parker Stewart, treasurer, Savannah-based fine art photographer whose solo exhibition “Tideland” was presented at Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center in 2025.
