Founded in 2015, the SE Center for Photography provides photographers an avenue to find an audience through monthly juried exhibitions. Local, national and international photographers of all skill levels have the opportunity to have their work presented and enjoyed by collectors, curators, enthusiasts, and colleagues.
Located in downtown Greenville, SC, midway between Atlanta and Charlotte, the SE Center has a potential reach of 8 million within two hours of the SE Center
We organize and host 12 juried exhibitions annually attracting over 4000 photographers from over 85 countries. Our jurors are the leaders in contemporary photography, the respected gallerists, publishers and photographers whom photographers want viewing their images. These are the individuals that can further careers.
In addition, exceptional photographers are invited to participate in solo or group shows. Since 2017, one over one third of our invitational exhibitions have highlighted photographers found in our juried shows. By mid June ‘24 we will have hosted over 150 exhibitions in our galleries.
The staff of the SE Center are all working photographers and artists. We know your pains and frustrations and do all we can to make furthering your career easier
Visiting the Center
Effective October 1, 2024, the SE Center for photography will give up our physical location in downtown Greenville but The SE Center will live on operating on a hybrid model going forward from our offices in Greenville.
While monthly physical exhibitions will disappear, the juried shows will exist virtually. Not only as the slide show we have always provided but in a gallery setting that will allow the viewer to walk about and explore. We are also in discussions with local and regional venues and organizations to collaborate in expanding SE Center physical exhibitions throughout the southeast.
Workshops and talks, both Zoom and in person, will continue as well as other in person events such as Second Saturday Coffee, Sunday Salon and the popular Spring Yard Sale.
So, while we close the doors on the physical gallery we are already moving forward developing new concepts to showcase your talent, teach new skills, and connect with fellow artists.
Our Administrative offices are located at 104 S Main St, Suite 816, Greenville, South Carolina 29601, by appointment only.

100CAMERAS
We support 100Cameras, an organization that works with youth around the world and teaches them to process and tell their stories through photography in a way that impacts how they view themselves and their role in their community. Through their perspectives and community contributions being uplifted, youth are showing themselves that today and always, they are the bigger picture.
