Students are the creative force driving the future of the visual arts.
Give them an edge by becoming a PRC Student/Institutional Member TODAY!
The PRC recognizes your students as a creative force influencing the future of visual art. We invite schools and institutions to join the PRC at our Student/Institutional Membership level to supplement their creative education. The PRC Student/Institutional membership is a one-year membership that renews annually in September that gives educational institutions access to all PRC programs: lectures with world-renowned photographers, artists, curators and critics; juried and unjuried exhibitions; portfolio review, art-share programs; workshops; and special members-only events. In addition, we added a new Professional Development Program exclusively for student artists, see details below. Everyone at your institution, students, faculty and staff, receive all the PRC member benefits—an exceptional learning experience at an exceptional value!
Since 1976, the PRC has been a gathering place for all photographers, from fine art to commercial to documentary and video. Our community includes artists, collectors, curators, gallerists, educators, students, and photography enthusiasts. The PRC is a hub of exploration and creativity that has grown to become one of the premier cultural institutions in New England.
Partner with the PRC and expand your creativity! Join today!
