Houston Center for Photography was originally founded as an artist-led cooperative in 1981, striving to showcase the talents of Houston-area photographers working in all mediums and art forms. Since 1982, it has been incorporated as a nonprofit organization, led by a 24-member board of directors and receiving significant national support from major arts organizations such as the Houston Arts Alliance and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Rotating temporary exhibitions of works by regional and national artists are showcased at the Center's free gallery, which is open to the public Wednesdays through Sundays during the afternoon and evening hours. The Center's Learning Center also offers a full Digital Darkroom facility, a 4,000-volume research library, and educational workshop programming for area students. Free parking is available at the Center's parking lot, with additional overflow street parking available nearby.
