The Centre for British Photography is a charitable initiative set up by the Hyman Foundation (Registered Charity Number 1190955). A significant new space for British photography, it will have exhibitions spaces, a programme of public events, an archive, and a shop. It aims to provide a dedicated home for British Photography in all its diversity. The aim is to host exhibitions curated independently by outside curators and institutional partners as well as to provide access to the Hyman Collection and in so doing present an expansive overview of British photography past and present. It is due to open in January 2023. The Centre will be based just off Piccadilly in central London for an initial period of two years in order to develop relationships with other organisations, charities and individuals that will allow it to become independent and self-sustaining. It will be a hub for exhibitions, events, partnerships and collaborations. We will be announcing shortly our opening exhibitions and events. The Centre is initially being funded and run by the Hyman Foundation (Registered Charity Number 1190955) but we are also looking forward to establishing partnerships with other organisations and charities. Please do contact us if you would like to collaborate or support our activities or would be interested in becoming a trustee or advisor. Exhibitions at the Centre will be free of charge and all profits from the shop will go to fund the work of the charity in support of photography in Britain.
