$100

BOOSTING OUR ARTIST COMMUNITY

$100 is the value of an artist membership for SF Camerawork. As part of revamping our membership program, we have made memberships sliding scale from $50-100 for working artists. Your support helps pay it forward for emerging artists that need access to our critiques, member programs, and other member services.

$250

SUSTAIN TEACHING ARTISTS

$250 is the current rate for an esteemed guest artist to lead one of SF Camerawork’s member critique sessions. Your gift helps make free and accessible critique sessions available to artists in San Francisco and around the world, maintaining the backbone of our member programs. You’ll also help SFC work towards a leading position in supporting artist fees above the bottom line. 

$500

SUPPORT ART EDUCATION

$500 can create a scholarship to cover class fees for SF Camerawork’s multi-week workshops. As we prepare to bring back our celebrated workshop series in 2024, your support will keep our educational programming equitable, making access to training by art professionals available to all. 

$1000

GROW AND LEARN TOGETHER

$1000 brings together a group of artists for a live program like a panel, studio tour, or exhibition walkthrough. Your contribution will support in-depth and intimate conversations among artists, curators, and critics, create deeper connection between us, the work and the artists, and foster the SFC community’s appreciation for art. 

All donations of $1000 and up receive named recognition on the web, in print and on-site for one year after the donation date. See some of our annual supporters here.

(Note: If you are seeking more involvement with the SFC community, Collector’s Circle memberships start at $1000 and come with access to member perks and events - see our Membership Page for more information).

$2000

SUPPORT ACCESS AND OUTREACH

$2000 can take one of our live programs and make it accessible! Your gift helps create widespread access to art and ideas through live streaming, captioning, and interpreting technology for our immunocompromised, disabled, and national/international audiences.  Accessible programs benefit us all.

$3000

FUND NEW WORK AND COMMISSIONS

A gift at this level provides an artist fee for a solo show or to commission new work by a local artist. Since taking the helm at SFC in 2023, our executive director, Aay Preston-Myint, made raising artist fees our first priority. SFC’s entire fee schedule has been revised, resulting in artist payments sometimes doubling or tripling the industry standard for organizations our size. Support the creation of new photographic work directly and keep local artist practices sustainable buy helping fund new commissions.

$5000

LIFT UP THE NEXT WAVE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTISTS

Directly support even more work and creativity, by helping fund the awards for a new cohort of FORECAST artists, our annual juried show of new photographic work. Contribute to the next generation of imagemakers with a donation of $5000. Keep Camerawork’s legacy alive as the first look at new talent in the field, and you can say you were there to see the next star on the rise.
