FUTURE FOCUS

HCP’s Campaign for a New Creative Campus

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

After an incredible 40-plus years at our beloved location on 1441 West Alabama Street, the Houston Center for Photography (HCP) has reached a pivotal moment and is embarking on a journey to find a new home.

This decision, while marking the end of an era, is driven by a clear vision for HCP’s growth and long-term sustainability. Primarily, we have come to realize that our current facilities no longer provide the space necessary to fully realize the scale of our ambitions and programs. Additionally, the terms of our long-standing lease no longer align with the evolving needs of our landlord. HCP engaged its members and the community at large in a series of town hall meetings and learned that collaborative, engagement, and creative space was critical. For that reason, our new home will feature a makerspace, darkroom, and production facilities; secondary and adult education space, drop-in safe spaces, and a dedicated student gallery; an expanded library; and a robust residency program.

Importantly, we heard the desire to remain within the Museum District and Montrose area of Houston, a commitment we have taken to heart. The Board of Directors led a diligent search with the expert guidance and assistance of Savills and secured a remarkable historic property located in close proximity to the MFAH, CAM, and the light rail. Beyond location alone, this new home presents exciting opportunities for deeper collaborations with our esteemed sister institutions and ensures convenient access for our visitors and the broader community.

This is a truly transformative moment for the Houston Center for Photography, and we are incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunities this new chapter will bring. This move will enable us to better serve the Houston photography community, expand our reach, and further solidify our position as a leading institution dedicated to the art of photography.

CAMPUS OVERVIEW

* 11,295 square feet of building space over two separate buildings

* .92 acres of land

* 21 dedicated parking spots, including handicap spaces

* Rentable venue for events (tented parking lot provides event space for 200+)

* Dedicated parking for HCP’s beloved FlashDrive

* 3 galleries

* 4 classrooms (including digital lab, seminar, youth learning, modular)

* State of the art makerspace

* Dedicated lighting studio

* Analog darkroom for b&w and alternative processes

* Artists residency apartment (live/work space)

* Outdoor solar exposing classroom and youth courtyard

* Student lounge

* Reading room (library)

* Conference room

* Outdoor terraced gardens (outdoor classroom)

* HCP book and merchandise store

* Room to grow in the future...

HCP’s new campus will be more than a set of buildings— it will be the heartbeat of photography in Houston. A creative campus to learn, exhibit, and connect.

Each of the two buildings was designed by renowned Houston architect William Ward Watkin who founded the Architecture Department of Rice University in 1912, and remained on the Rice faculty until his death in 1952. In addition to his duties at Rice, Watkin designed a large number of buildings, many of which are architecturally significant including the original structure of the MFAH.

Built in the 1920's, both buildings were beautifully renovated in 2020, the property is in excellent condition.

HCP cultivates its Engagement initiatives by fostering meaningful connections, providing inclusive access, and building a robust financial foundation.
