The Houston Center for Photography (HCP) has dedicated a gallery space to photographers from the Greater Houston area and is currently seeking exhibition proposals.
Charles Ford’s “The Strangeness of Life,” 2024
Founded in 1981, HCP promotes the art and practice of photography through programs and exhibitions. Earlier this year, the organization launched HOU @ HCP to support local artists. The first exhibition featured works by Charles Ford, Aimee McCrory, Austin Cullen, Jamie Ho, Barbara Levine & Paige Ramey, and HCP students. Currently, the gallery is showcasing work by Hope Mora, and this winter it will feature Nurra Yazici.
Last month, the organization opened an ongoing rolling call for exhibition proposals from HCP members. According to the submission guidelines, work will be considered as it comes in and artists will be notified at the end of the subsequent month if their work has been selected for exhibition. The focus of the gallery will be on solo shows, however, HCP will consider joint submissions in which all participating artists are located in the Greater Houston area.
HCP notes that while the gallery will be focused on Houston-based artists, the organization will still use the gallery for its annual student exhibition and to host non-local artists who will work directly with the Houston community.
Learn more about the process and submit your work via the HCP Submittable page.
