Aspect Initiative gallery
We are an online gallery dedicated to sharing art and ideas in photography. With a focus on artists living in the New England states, but not exclusively. We enjoy finding unique voices in camera based art making. Simply we want to be a gateway to give exposure to and support to talented artists everywhere and from any community. Artist focus features will run for 4 to 6 weeks then will be archived in the online gallery collective. All works featured on this site are under strict copyright of the artists.
