History

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[7][8] 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.[9]
