Since its founding, HCP has earned an international reputation for exhibitions of current and relevant work that have helped to define the state of photography. HCP's exhibitions have included works by some of the most important photographers of the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as the work of many emerging photographers who are now established professionals.
Deadline: Sunday, July 16th, 2023 at 11:59 PM, Central Time
EXHIBITION ON VIEW: Winter 2023/ 2024
Each year, Houston Center for Photography selects an expert writer, critic, or curator to identify two artists from hundreds of submissions who exemplify excellence and innovation in their approaches to new photography. The Houston Center for Photography Fellowship and the Carol Crow Fellowship Awards aim to highlight each artist’s work and to offer them a platform and the support to continue developing their projects. One Houston-based artist (residing within a 100-mile radius of Houston) will receive the Carol Crow Memorial Fellowship and another artist, from anywhere in the world, will receive the HCP Fellowship. The two selected artists will each be awarded $3,000 and a solo-exhibition at HCP in Winter of 2023/ 2024. The competition is open to all photographic, film, video, and lens-based installation work.
Past recipients, HCP staff, Board, Advisory Council, Committee members, and their significant others are not eligible. All Entrants must be, or become, HCP members at the time of submission. To become an HCP member, click here.
