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. 

  • K-8th grade programs, such as Flash Drive, Girls’ Own Stories, Photography for Advocacy, and Picture This!, are ten-weeks in length and can be adapted to various educational settings, whether inside or outside of traditional schools. 

  • 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.  

  • High School programs are forthcoming in 2025-26.
