MEMBERSHIP                                        

HCP has launched a new membership program with levels of membership to suit the needs and philanthropy of our community. Our basic level membership affords you the opportunity to participate in our annual exhibition calls for entry. These are fantastic ways to network amongst the top curators, critics, photographers in the industry. Our “sponsorship” level membership expands on these levels while providing scholarship opportunities for deserving students at HCP. Many of our member levels also enjoy discounts on courses, workshops, lectures, private classes, portfolio reviews, and public programs.
