Marjorie G. Rosen is the former president of Arts Brittania Ltd., a private company in London, United Kingdom. The organization was co-founded by Mrs. Rosen and provided private or group tours for the decorative and fine arts. Today, Marjorie G. Rosen lives in the United States and is a member of an array of professional organizations relating to her interests, such as the International Center of Photography.
The International Center of Photography (ICP) is a global institution dedicated to the art of photography and visual culture that is based in New York City, New York. The ICP was founded in 1974 in order to keep “Concerned Photography,” or photography concerning social activism or humanitarian documentation, alive in the arts. Today, the ICP has a school, museum, library, collection and media center, and a plethora of programs and community outreach in order to create awareness about the role of visual art in the contemporary world’s culture.
Along with continuous workshops, exhibits, and other programs, ICP also hosts an annual awards event, called the Infinity Awards. The Infinity Awards celebrates the outstanding artists each year who work in photography and the visual arts, while also serving as ICP’s premier fundraising event for its multitude of programs and educational outreaches. The awards were established not long after ICP itself, with the first ceremony in 1985, and has since recognized professionals across the visual arts, such as photojournalists, fashion photographers, publishers, and more. Notable past recipients include Anne Leibovitz, Sebastiao Salgado, and Berenice Abbott.
