Background
Lumière was founded to enhance the appreciation of the photographic arts and to showcase many of the master photographers of the last century. It was also conceived as model to integrate digital technology with the arts, so as to enhance access and engagement.
Its founder merged his experience as a collector and board member of numerous arts organization with his decades of management experience in building computer and networking applications. The objective: to create a 21st Century model for galleries, museums and universities committed to advancing arts exposure and impact.
Over the last 15 years he has conceived and curated over 50 physical and virtual exhibitions featuring the work of 60 master artists. They represent the history and evolution of 20th and 21st Century photography.
During that period, numerous audio/video elements have been developed for educational and research purposes. In addition, Lumière has partnered with multiple institutions presenting exhibitions, lecture series and student engagement programs.
These include the High Museum of Art, The Carter Presidential Library, The Fernbank Science Center and the Booth Western Art Museum, as well as Emory University.
The result is reflected in the design and content of this web site.
