Honored Photographers

In conjunction with our annual spring exhibition, the Comer Collection aims to host an Honored Photographer whose work is represented in the collection and appeals to the graduate student curator.

Depending on the photographer’s strengths and interests, they have the option to offer workshops, portfolio reviews, demonstrations, small group discussions, and a public lecture. These opportunities are graciously supported by the Comer Lecture Series Endowment Fund.
