Unshuttered has been many things. First and foremost, it is a photography-based initiative that provides a platform for learning, sharing, and other opportunities for teens, young people, and teachers across the country. Over the years, Unshuttered has offered: a photography intensive program for teens, an app for submitting photographs, a nationwide contest for original photographs from young artists, lesson plan resources for high school educators, and exhibitions at The Getty and online.
Getty Unshuttered has been a free photo sharing app from the Getty Museum, originally launched in 2018. It was envisioned as a positive community for teens to share their passion for photography and social justice advocacy—a place to inspire each other and grow as artists.
For educators, Unshuttered provides lesson plans and digital resources designed for high school teachers to inspire their students to explore the medium of photography and its social impact.
It has been an honor to offer a place to grow and share photography. The resources and inspiration that Unshuttered provides will continue, but as of October 4, 2024 the app will no longer continue. Please visit sunset.unshuttered.org to review more details and find instructions on how to download your data from the app before it closes.
