Early Works
January 22 − March 15, 2015
Reception/Open House: Thursday, February 26, 5-9pm

The PRC presented a celebration of early photographic talent in a unique, multi-part exhibition event, centered around the PRC's presentation of the traveling show Early Works, curated by Laura Moya & Laura Valenti of Portland, Oregon and the photographic non-profit Photolucida. Early Works examined imagery made by 34 international contemporary photographers when they were children. The PRC joined a roster of venerable venues that have shown Early Works, including the University of the Arts, The Center for Fine Art Photography, Rayko Photo Center, and the Newspace Center for Photography.
