ICP's community programs brings the rewards of photographic expression to people of every age and background, through gallery tours, workshops, family programs, and teen classes, as well as off-site partnerships with schools, community centers, and other cultural institutions. By creating opportunities for photographic education, ICP enables individuals to explore photography as a way of understanding themselves and the bonds that form a community.
