The Halide Project was founded in 2015 to support the continued practice and appreciation of alternative and historic process photography. Located in Philadelphia, we serve both the local and global communities by providing artists with exhibition opportunities, affordable workspace, educational programming, and other resources.

Living Image showcases contemporary artists working in alternative and historic process photographic techniques. This year’s exhibition opens on February 15 and will be on view through March 31.
