The Griffin Museum is pleased to present three exhibitions on view through December and early January: Winter Solstice, Izabella Demavyls | Without a Face, and Arnold Newman Prize Winner and Finalists
Winter Solstice Members Exhibition 2025
In the darkness of winter, we search for the light; our Winter Solstice exhibition lights up the museum with images, ideas, and creativity, celebrating the works of our photo community in all of its splendor.
This annual event highlights the medium of photography in all its forms and showcases the boundless talent of our members. In addition to the physical exhibition filling the museum walls this December, our online exhibition offers a chance to explore the incredible works of participating artists.
Izabella Demavyls | “Without a Face”
The Griffin Museum is honored to present the work of Izabella Demavyls, the 2024 winner of the Richards Family Prize.
Demavyls, a Swedish born photographer and artist based in New York City, has a background in fashion photography, but has shifted her work towards documentary and portrait photography.
In her project “Without a Face,” she photographs and interviews women who had experienced acid attacks, delving into the concept of beauty and its social and cultural implications.
Demavyls believes that beauty cannot be solely defined by appearance, hence her photographs showcase women whose empowered and embodied beauty radiates from their accomplishments, struggles, and triumphs in life.
The Richards Family Prize is an annual $4,000 scholarship that is awarded to a mid-career photographer whose work is creative and original.
