EXPOSURE 2020: The 24th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition

    October 7 – November 19, 2020

    Each year the PRC produces a highly-regarded juried exhibition of photography entitled EXPOSURE. Differing from many other juried offerings, EXPOSURE includes several images from each photographer’s series in order to more fully represent their work. This method of presentation accomplishes more than showing a single image by each artist and makes for a stronger and more enriching experience for audiences. This year the PRC was honored to have as our juror, Makeda Best, Richard L. Menschel Curator of Photography at Harvard Art Museums.
