ABOUT NOPA
The mission of the New Orleans Photo Alliance is to encourage the understanding and appreciation of photography through exhibitions, opportunities, and educational programs. The Alliance strives to be a cultural stimulus, which fosters economic and artistic growth while preserving the rich and diverse photographic culture of New Orleans and the southern region.

The New Orleans Photo Alliance was founded by a diverse group of photographers who joined forces in 2006 to create unity and opportunity for photographers in the Gulf South. It is an artist-driven 501(c)3 nonprofit. NOPA produces numerous photographic exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs, including PhotoNOLA, the annual photography festival held each December in New Orleans. In addition, NOPA administers two annual grants: the Michael P. Smith Fund for Documentary Photography, and the Clarence John Laughlin Award.
