Our salon event is now at capacity, but you can still register below to join the waitlist. We'll notify you via email if space opens up. We also hope you can join us for our Photo Community Mixer, an opportunity to meet salon attendees, members of Authority Collective, Diversify Photo, NPPA, and other imagemakers and visual leaders based in SoCal and beyond. We plan to host more programming IRL and virtually, so if you can't join us on Feb. 9 we hope to connect with you in the future!

Questions? Need additional support to attend this event? Please email us with any questions at info@authoritycollective.org.
