On November 9 at the Boston University Photonics Center, more than 150 gathered to celebrate the PRC's 35th anniversary. Attending were a diverse group of people. Some were reconnecting with friends and colleagues from 35 years ago when Chris Enos first founded the PRC. Others were people who were connecting with the PRC for the first time. And many are PRC current members and supporters who came out for this festive event. More>>

Carl Chiarenza, Peace Warrior (Don Quixote) 188, 2003

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the PRC gallery and the 35th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, the PRC will honor two individuals who were instrumental in the PRC's history and photohistory in Boston, Chris Enos and Carl Chiarenza. Besides their intersecting history, lifelong careers in photo education, and mutual friendship, Enos's and Chiarenza's work shares aesthetic and conceptual affinities, including the use of recycled materials, the transformation and abstraction of the image, and references to painting and landscape. This show celebrates these two remarkable artists and individuals as well as the past and future of the gallery and the PRC itself.
