MONROE GALLERY LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE

Santa Fe, NM -- Monroe Gallery of Photography proudly announces the launch of its new website www.monroegallery.com with a short video “Photography: The medium of our time”. 

 The new site has been completely revised for easier viewing of exhibitions and photographer’s collections. A new short video highlights Monroe Gallery of Photography’s specialized focus of 20th and 21st Century photojournalism—images that are embedded in our collective consciousness and which form a shared visual heritage for human society. Many of these photographs not only moved the public at the time of their publication but maintain the power to stir the consciousness (and conscience) today. These images set social and political changes in motion, transforming the way we live and think—in a shared medium that is a singular intersectionality of art and journalism. 

 Monroe Gallery of Photography was founded by Sidney S. Monroe and Michelle A. Monroe in 2001, following decades of experience in New York City. The Gallery is currently open to the public and is New Mexico Safe Certified in Covid-19 operating procedures. Current modified Gallery hours are 10 to 3 daily, admission is free. In accordance with mandated health guidelines face masks are required and visitors must maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet. The gallery is limiting the number of visitors to approximately 10 people at a time. Private viewing is available by appointment.
