About The Ground Glass
The Ground Glass: Founded in 1975 by Renata Rainer, The Ground Glass is an independent photographic association, dedicated to promoting the practice and appreciation of fine art photography. Bringing together photographers from Westchester County, New York, and Fairfield County, Connecticut, the organization has fostered a vibrant community of artists dedicated to both the craft and the creative exploration of photography. The Ground Glass is in residence at The Rye Arts Center and provides a forum for education, collaboration, and inspiration through monthly meetings, exhibitions, guest lectures, and image reviews. From traditional darkroom practices to cutting-edge digital techniques, The Ground Glass embraces the evolving nature of the medium. Member critiques encourage participants to experiment with diverse applications of photographic expression, while curated exhibitions emphasize the importance of presenting images as fine art prints.
