ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Established in 2001, and organized by the
graduate photography students at Texas Woman’s University and the
Photographic Artists’ Coalition, the annual Joyce Elaine Grant
Photography Exhibition provides a national venue for the exhibition of
artistic expression as seen through the eye of the lens. Photographers
throughout the United States are invited to submit entries for the
exhibition. The exhibition will be on view to the public at the Texas
Woman’s University East | West Galleries February 24th through April
13th 2020.
The exhibition and endowment were established by alumna Christine Shank and a small group of graduate students and named in memory of the mother of Professor Susan Kae Grant. Exhibition proceeds fund the Joyce Elaine Grant Photography Exhibition Endowment, which supports photography scholarships for future graduate students in the Department of Visual Arts.
Texas Woman’s University is a comprehensive public university, primarily for women, offering baccalaureate, masters and doctoral degree programs and is the largest university for women in the United States. The University’s photography department has a legacy of excellence by empowering students to take risks, establish a broad vision of the field and develop a personal voice and working methodology.
