Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I register for workshops and lectures?
A: Workshops, lectures and discussions featuring exhibiting artists and photographers are part of our ongoing programming. IRIS Nights, our Thursday lecture series, is free on a first-come, first-serve basis but advance reservations are required. The box office is open for the two most recent upcoming lectures though these typically sell out very quickly. Please visit the IRIS Nights page for more information.
For the most current information about the latest events, see our calendar section. We encourage you to subscribe to our email newsletter so we can notify you when registration begins.
Q: I registered online for one of your IRIS Nights lectures but the tickets were never sent to my email account?
A: If you receive a web page confirmation after registering for a lecture online but do not receive an email confirmation, your ticket(s) have most likely been reserved. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to ensure that your name is on the list of registrants for the event you signed up for. If your name appears on the registrants list, you are also allowed to provide your name to a staff member at the front desk on the day of the lecture rather than bring in a printed ticket.
Q: Am I able to attend an IRIS Nights lecture if it has already been sold out online?
A: Yes. Our lectures are very popular and sell out very quickly. However a standby option is available for those who would like to attend lectures that have sold out. We recommend that standby guests arrive at the Space between 5:30-6pm on the evening of the lecture. We suggest that those who wish to be placed on the standby list arrive between 5:30-6pm on the day of the lecture. It has been our experience that we are able to accommodate most standbys for each lecture.
Q: How do I cancel my IRIS Nights lecture ticket reservation?
A: If you have reserved a ticket to one of our IRIS Nights lectures and find that you are unable to attend, please notify us by email at info@annenbergspaceforphotography.org.
