Our photo exhibit experience
Since 2016, Alan Kotok has organized the annual members photography exhibit at National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The exhibit runs the entire month of September, and except for the pandemic year of 2020, displays print and digital images in the NPC lobby. Beginning in 2019, the exhibit includes an online catalog describing the stories behind the photos, as well as the photographers themselves, hosted on the Technology News and Literature web site. Kotok also organized the first exhibit of news photography at high schools in the District of Columbia in Dec. 2023, with TechNewsLit.com also hosting that exhibit catalog. See below for details and links to those exhibits.
National Press Club 2026 members photo exhibit
The National Press Club holds its 27th annual members photography exhibit again this September, which we've organized for the 11th straight year. The exhibit is NPC's celebration of visual storytelling, with the show's theme this year of “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The TechNewsLit Explores blog has more.
National Press Club 2025 members photo exhibit
The 2025 NPC photography show features a topical theme, the climate crisis. The 185 photos and images from 52 participants display wide array of environmental impacts -- excessive heat, melting glaciers, fires, drought, floods, typhoon, hurricanes -- and effects on wildlife, agriculture, and urban life. Members' photos also show efforts to mitigate the harms from climate change, including graceful wind turbines over land and water, and citizens' support for action to alleviate the crisis. The collection also shows news photos from members on topics other than the climate, with street, landscape, and wildlife photography, and abstract digital art.
National Press Club 2024 members photo exhibit
The 2024 photography show is the 25th year for National Press Club's annual celebration of visual storytelling. The 203 photos and images from 52 participants feature news photography for investigative and wartime reporting with event, travel, wildlife, street, and sports, as well as more photographic art than ever. Plus, as 2024 marks the 25th straight year for the exhibit, the show honors its Silver Circle -- Marshall Cohen, Christy Bowe, and Jim Dandridge -- who contributed photos to every exhibit since it began in 1999. Cohen is also founder of NPC's Photography Committee in 1999, when he put on the initial show.
2023 D.C. high school news photo exhibit
5-8 Dec. 2023 in the National Press Club lobby. The exhibit featured photos appearing in D.C. high school publications during 2023, with contributions from student photographers at four schools, including public, charter, and private institutions. The images show academics, athletics, and school life in general from the perspective of the students themselves.
