Decagon Gallery
Who We Are
At Decagon Gallery, we see photography as a bridge between the seen and the unseen, a way of giving form to memory, wonder, and imagination. Photography is our shared language of memory and imagination. Founded by John Manno and guided with care by
Curator of Artistic Programs Teona Machavariani, the gallery exists to celebrate diverse voices and create accessible spaces where every photograph can shine.
