Photoworks is a visual arts agency for photography, based in Brighton, England and founded in 1995. It commissions and publishes new photography and writing on photography; produces exhibitions, books, participation and learning projects and events including the Brighton Photo Biennial, the UK's largest photography festival. It organises the Jerwood/Photoworks Awards in collaboration with the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
It has published photography books by Daniel Meadows, Stephen Gill, Rinko Kawauchi and Joachim Schmid, and published books written or edited by Val Williams.
Photoworks is located within the University of Brighton's Grand Parade Campus and is a registered charity, funded by Arts Council England and one of Arts Council England's National Portfolio Organisations.
Photoworks formed out of the Cross Channel Photographic Mission (CCPM) arts project in St Leonards-on-Sea in 1995. It initially consisted of founding director and curator Ann McNeill and projects manager Liz Kent. In 1997 the organisation moved to Maidstone and then in 2003 to Brighton.
In 2011 Photoworks merged with Brighton Photo Biennial.
The Jerwood/Photoworks Awards is an annual award given to three emerging people in the UK who make their own photography, or those who use photographs, archives or found photography. It is a collaboration between the Jerwood Charitable Foundation and Photoworks, supported by Arts Council England, that launched in 2014.
