Mission and History

The Kansas City Society for Contemporary Photography is a community of regional photographers and collectors presenting and promoting the photographic arts.

In 2014 five of the original members of a discontinued group called SCP (Society for Contemporary Photography), met to discuss the possibility of a new association, intended to better address the needs of today’s photographic community. They invited a core group of like-minded photographers to help define this new organization, and in June, 2015, they launched the Kansas City Society for Contemporary Photography, to educate, create, communicate and exhibit.

We welcome all who are interested in the photographic art form, whether you are an artist, collector, curator, gallerist, or enthusiast.

Participation in events is generally open to everyone. Membership provides discounts, participation in member group shows, and more.
