Juried by Hannah Frieser, Director, Light Work (Syracuse, NY)

Houston Center for Photography is proud to present
this year´s Annual Juried Membership Exhibition.

HCP´s most diverse exhibition of the year, the Annual Juried Membership Exhibition highlights the photographs of its national and international members. HCP´s members have been an integral part of its mission since 1981.

Juror Hannah Frieser states, "Houston Center of Photography is fortunate to have an abundance of excellent photographers among its members, who are currently making their mark on the medium and who understand what it means to shape an image. Therefore a group exhibition of their work sparkles with talent from Texas and beyond. The styles and formats run the full gamut, but the quality of the work never waivers."
