Celebrating 50 Years of Photography: A Night to Remember
On October 17, 2026, the Photographic Resource Center (PRC) celebrated its 50th anniversary at Arts at the Armory in Somerville, bringing together artists, supporters, and friends for a memorable evening.
Founded in 1976 by photographer Chris Enos, the PRC began as a small newsletter in her Boston loft and grew into a vital resource for photographers through exhibitions, education, and community engagement. Fifty years later, we remain committed to that mission, supporting photographers at every stage of their careers.
Our anniversary gala honored this legacy with our inaugural Legacy Awards, recognizing influential artists, educators, and supporters, including Enos herself. The evening also featured a keynote by acclaimed photographer Rania Matar and a live auction, raising over $25,000 to support PRC’s future.
I’m deeply grateful to everyone who made this milestone possible, especially our sponsors Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston, Digital Silver Imaging, Panopticon Imaging, Leica Gallery Boston, and Hunt’s Photo & Video, along with event designer Danielle Kelley, fundraising consultant Gray Works Advisors, our Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers.
As Executive Director, it’s a privilege to carry this legacy forward and help shape the next chapter of the PRC.
Here’s to the next 50 years!
