As a meeting ground, the photographic medium serves as a pathway, the link between artists, exhibitions, and the various audiences. The Center’s mission is to offer its exhibition program through a range of specific activities (guided tours, storytelling tours, lectures, meetings with artists, film or moving image screenings, presentation of photographic publications), and to develop amateur and artistic practice activities (historic processes, stop-motion workshops, image analysis workshops, etc.). In a society undergoing profound change, the Center of Photography seeks to provide a space for expression and reflection.

Admission to the Center is free for those under 18.
Cultural and Artistic Education (CAE) is a privileged time for young people to encounter artworks and various cultural stakeholders during school, after-school, and extracurricular hours. CAE enables to build artistic literacy and to develop and strenghten artistic practice. All these actions contribute to self-formation and emancipation by developing one’s sensitivity, critical thinking and creativity.
Since the summer of 2022, the Mougins Center of Photography has been supporting photographers in residence through the Rouvrir le monde – été culturel program, a national initiative of the French Ministry of Culture supported by the Direction Régionale des Affaires Culturelles (DRAC) of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. Practical art workshops and participatory projects are offered and developed by the resident photographers with the collaboration of host organizations in the 06 department (social, medical, leisure, early childhood structures, sports associations, etc.).
For more information on the “Rouvrir le monde – Un été culturel 2024” program, click here.

Throughout the year, and during exhibition periods, various activities are offered for school classes and children’s activity centers. The proposals are adapted to all levels and can take the form of a visit, a tour followed by a workshop, and medium-term projects developed over several sessions.
The Center of Photography welcomes you to its premises, encompassing an exhibition space and a mediation area, or travels to schools for specific activities (off-site).

Our tours, like our workshops, can be adapted to suit your needs.
