THE BRIDGE is a groundbreaking non-profit mentorship program for Emerging Photographers and creatives aged 18-26 in New York City and Los Angeles.
Created in partnership with the American Society of Media Photographers, The Bridge is an immersive 16-week hybrid of professional development workshops, in-studio visits, and dynamic interaction with diverse mentors and seasoned industry professionals. The Bridge is designed to bridge the gap between traditional education and successful industry careers.
We challenge talented young artists to develop their point of view through exercises in creativity and communication, and we provide unparalleled real world experience to help them expand and pursue their goals.
The Bridge is designed to open doors and lift the barriers of time, money, and access. Students build community with their peers and mentors, and take confident steps towards achieving sustainable careers in photography and the arts.
The application is free, and the entire 16-week Program is offered at no charge to accepted applicants.
This is made possible through donations large and small given through the ASMP Foundation in addition to the following sponsors: The Brooklyn Arts Council, Capture One, MPB Photo and Signs365.
