Educational services:

We welcome groups to the gallery's exhibitions, and with advance notice we can provide oral presentations about current shows as well as our general activities. We ask that individual groups not exceed 15-20 persons at a time.

 

Stephen Bulger also regularly accepts offers to speak on various topics surrounding the history of making and collecting photography.
