All Nights at the PRC take place in our gallery at 832 Commonwealth Avenue.

These free, informally structured programs foster a sense of community with photographers, PRC members, and students by offering an opportunity to share images and insights about particular topics in contemporary photographic practice.

Would you like to show your work to a group of passionate photographers and photo enthusiasts? Sign up to present! Six presenter slots are available per Night. Presenters may only show work at two Nights per season in order to allow for new presenters and a variety of presentations.

Please contact the PRC at 617-975-0600 or info@prcboston.org to reserve a presenter slot no later than two days before the Night. Audience members without work are also encouraged to participate, no reservations needed, but must bring their curiosity and open-mindedness. Everyone is welcome to bring refreshments.

Guidelines for Showing Work at Nights at the PRC
Presenters may show either prints or digital files using the PRC computer and projector. Please be prepared to speak about your work/project for approximately 5-7 minutes with audience discussion and feedback afterwards. Each presenter’s time slot cannot exceed 15 minutes.

If you are showing digital files, please bring your images or slide show on a portable flash drive, CD, or external hard drive and plan to arrive at least ten minutes early so that we have time to copy the files to our computer.

We can support the following formats:
• Loose jpgs
• PowerPoint
• Keynote

If you choose to bring your own laptop, you must provide the VGA adaptors to connect to the projector.
