Opening Reception: Friday, May 8th, 6 – 8 PM

Now in its second year, PHOTO/FACULTY 2026 brings together 52 artists from 26 institutions across five states in New England. This exhibition centers photography faculty as artists, highlighting their contributions to contemporary photography through work that is rigorous, diverse, and deeply engaged with the medium.

Spanning documentary, conceptual, and experimental practices, the exhibition reflects the range of photography today. While these artists are also educators, their teaching is shaped by their active creative practices. PHOTO/FACULTY 2026 recognizes them as both contributors to the field and as mentors who influence its future.

The PHOTO/FACULTY 2026 exhibition is fully sponsored by Panopticon Imaging, whose generous support has made the exhibition and its related programming possible.

Join us at the PRC for an evening of fine art inkjet printing classes with Eric Joseph of Freestyle Photographic. These are two separate events, so you can register for one or both:

Six Steps to Making Perfect Inkjet Prints

Struggling to get your prints to match your screen? Wondering if you’re using the right paper, printer, or color workflow? This session breaks down everything you need to know—from monitor calibration to paper selection—so you can start making consistent, exhibition-quality prints.

Choosing Inkjet Paper with Intention

Not all papers are created equal. Through real examples, Eric will walk through the technical and aesthetic differences between major paper brands and help you understand how paper choice can transform your work.

Led byEric Joseph—photographer and Co-President of Freestyle Photographic—who has spent decades teaching artists how to master digital printmaking with clarity and control.

Recommended for photographers of all levels. Come learn how to turn good images into incredible prints.

The lecture will take place in the Screening Room at Lesley University Hall. Following the talk, we invite you to continue the conversation during a social hour at the PRC gallery from 7–8 PM, where Amani will be signing copies of his new book Invisible Sun, which will be available for purchase.

Venue : Lesley University Hall, 1815 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Amani Willett is a Boston-based photographer whose work explores family, history, memory, and the social environment, often through the book form. His monographs Disquiet (Damiani, 2013), The Disappearance of Joseph Plummer (Overlapse, 2017), and A Parallel Road (Overlapse, 2020) were named among Photo-Eye’s “Best Books of the Year” and have been widely published and exhibited. His work appears in major collections including MoMA, Tate Modern, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Willett is an Associate Professor of Photography at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Invisible Sun, published by Dust Collective, is a visual meditation on survival, transformation, and memory, exploring how childhood trauma and lived experience continue to shape the present.

The evening will begin with a panel discussion, followed by informal networking in the gallery—an opportunity to connect with peers and industry professionals. Open to the public, with networking prioritized for students and emerging photographers.

Date : April 17th, 2026
Time : 6 PM – 9 PM
Venue : 1815 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140

This event is FREE but registration is required.

Now in its 20th year, the PRC Student Show celebrates and supports student photographers at formative stages in their artistic development. The 2026 exhibition features students from nine colleges and universities across Greater Boston and has newly expanded to include three local high schools — strengthening early pathways into the photographic arts and supporting students at every stage of their creative journey.

Participating colleges and universities this year include Boston University, Emerson College, Endicott College, Lesley University, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Northeastern University, SMFA at Tufts University, and Simmons University.

We are also proud to include students from Cambridge Rindge & Latin High School, Somerville High School, and Commonwealth High School, expanding access and visibility for young artists earlier in their careers.

This year’s exhibition honors academic diversity and features work selected by the schools themselves. We are deeply honored to present the work of these talented student photographers.

The 2026 PRC Student Show is fully sponsored by Stanhope Framers, whose generous support has made this exhibition and its related programming possible.

“The PRC Artist-in-Residence program gave me the space, time, and support to explore my medium in ways I couldn’t have done alone. With mentorship, resources, and the freedom to experiment, I was able to push my practice forward and create work that continues to evolve. The residency concluded with an exhibition supported by the PRC and the photographic community — an experience I’m deeply grateful for.”

— Sri Thumati, 2025 PRC Artist-in-Residence

“Every year the Photographic Resource Center mounts “Your Work Here.” The show’s organizing principle is straightforward: Members are encouraged to submit a single photograph, and all submissions are accepted. This year there are more than a hundred on display. It’s the visual equivalent of a pot luck, except this self-offered meal is of banquet proportions. This year the PRC has its 50^th anniversary. “Your Work Here 2026” is a fine way to kick off a year-long celebration. It also makes you wonder what a “Your Work Here 1976” might have looked like.”

— Mark Feeney, Boston Globe

WHY PRC MATTERS

WHY PHOTOGRAPHY MATTERS

From the Executive Director:
How Photography Changed My Life

This image was taken at my high school graduation and my very first photography exhibition.

It marks a turning point in my life. A few years earlier, my father passed away, and I struggled deeply with grief. I left high school for a time, unsure of my direction or future.

Photography became my way back.

Using my father’s camera gave me focus, structure, and a way to process what I didn’t yet have words for. With the support of a teacher and an alternative photography class, I returned to school, graduated, and began a path that eventually led me to earn my BFA and MFA in Photography — bringing me to where I am today.

Photography changed my life.

That’s why supporting photography matters. Access matters. Mentorship matters. A place to show your work for the first time matters. One class, one exhibition, one community can shift the course of someone’s life — just as it did mine.

For 50 years, the PRC has created space for artists, students, and community members to experience those same moments of discovery, connection, and creative growth.

Your donation, in any amount, helps sustain that work and supports the 50th anniversary programs we’re proud to present this year. Help us reach our Spring Appeal goal and ensure that photography continues to open doors for the next generation.

MAKE YOUR IMPACT TODAY

Your gift to PRC’s Spring 2026 Appeal helps ensure that photography remains visible, vibrant, and vital.
