TPS 29: The International Competition
The Buddy Holly Center is thrilled to host the Texas Photographic Society’s flagship traveling exhibition. This exhibition opened in Houston’s The Silos at Sawyer Yards on October 23, 2020, and has since traveled across the state to the Buddy Holly Center’s Fine Arts Gallery after a stop at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Abilene.
“TPS 29: The International Competition” features work by 50 different artists across the United States. From California to New York, Utah to Maine, Oregon to Georgia, these photographs have a wide range of styles and subject matter that is both timely and striking.
