Patron Program

Aperture Foundation’s Patron Program brings together a unique group of individuals who share our belief in the power of photography. Our patrons provide a crucial financial donation for the promotion of cutting-edge contemporary work, documentary photography dealing with pressing issues of our time, and underrepresented historic work. Each year, gifts from our patrons help us release sixteen to twenty new books; publish our award-winning Aperture magazine; present six new exhibitions at Aperture Gallery and travel our shows worldwide; and organize lectures and panel discussions with leading artists and authors of our time.
