COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Houston Center for Photography’s Community Engagement programs recognize the camera as a tool for empowerment, allowing students to celebrate their identities, express their ideas and control their own narratives through image-making. 

  • Drop-in programs respond to the needs of communities who do not serve the same students consistently,
    yet aspire to provide consistent and robust arts programming for their audience.

  • K-12th grade programs, such as Affirmations, Girls’ Own Stories, Photography for Advocacy, and Picture This!, are ten sessions in length and can be adapted to various educational settings, whether inside or outside of traditional schools.  

  • Foto Futures Teen Career Development program introduces students to careers in photography on HCP’s campus. 

  • Public Parks programs are free weekend workshops for teens and adults.
