Soho Photo Gallery is the oldest artist-run photography gallery in New York
City, showcasing a broad spectrum of imagery by emerging and veteran
photographers. It was established in 1971 by a group of photojournalists and
avant-garde photographers who were seeking an alternative gallery space in which
to exhibit work.
