Student Night at the PRC: Thursday, April 28, 7-9 pm
This is an opportunity for students from all around New England to learn about each other's work.
 The breadth of Boston's photographic education community is featured in this annual showcase of work by students enrolled in PRC Institutional Member schools. In 2011, twenty-one programs from Providence (RISD) to Portland (Maine College of Art) have signed up to represent their photographic output. Come see the creative talents of tomorrow on display today, and gain an appreciation for the diversity of young, contemporary, photographic visions (and the remarkable range of academic programs supporting them) that surround the PRC.

PRC Lowers Admission Price for Master Lecture Series
Beginning with our next lecture on May 19 with Lori Waselchuk, the PRC is lowering the price for admission to the Master Lecture Series. Admission will now be $10 for non-members, $5 for members, and $5 for students of non-Institutional Member schools. This represents a 50% reduction in cost for members and a 33% reduction for non-members. We hope this will encourage more PRC members and more of the general public to take advantage of the renowned speakers the PRC brings to Boston as part of our Master Lecture Series.
New Gallery Hours
Beginning with Lori Waselchuk's exhibition opening on May 17, the PRC will have new gallery hours. We are bringing back our popular Thursday evening hours, open until 8:00 pm, and we will no longer be open on Sundays. Beginning May 17, during exhibitions, the gallery will be open:
Tues, Wed, Fri: 10 am - 5 pm
Thursday: 10 am - 8 pm

Calvin Dumas helps turn George Alexander in his bed, Angola State Prison, Louisiana.
Lori Waselchuk is a photographer based in Philadelphia, but she has a special level of dedication to people in the state of Louisiana. Her work in Grace Before Dying concentrates on a prisoner-run hospice program at Louisiana State Penitentiary located in Angola. The prison has a large percentage of inmates serving life sentences; nearly three-quarters of its 5,000 residents will leave the prison only upon their deaths. Waselchuk gained unique access to a program that has transformed lives. Her panoramic black-and-white prints record the heightened sensitivities that this ground-breaking program has instilled in a very tough world.
