Professional Women Photographers (PWP) invites women and non-binary artists to submit cell phone photographs for its inaugural Small Works Fundraiser Exhibition, presented in celebration of PWP's 50th Anniversary.

Using cell phone photography as an instrument of curiosity, witnessing, and reflection, Small Works explores how acts of seeing become forms of collective storytelling shaped by personal, social, political, and environmental conditions. The exhibition embraces phoneography as an accessible, immediate, and contemporary practice while bringing together a wide community of artists in support of PWP's ongoing work.

The exhibition is made possible through the generosity of BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, which is supporting a fellow nonprofit by providing the exhibition space at The Breezeway. This partnership allows Small Works to be presented in a highly visible public setting while maximizing the exhibition's fundraising impact.

This exhibition also serves as a fundraiser for the PWP 50th Anniversary Documentary, Women of Vision: 50 Years of Empowering Women in Photography, a film project dedicated to preserving and amplifying the history, impact, and voices of women in photography. The documentary is scheduled to premiere in June 2026.

Selected works will be printed at 6 × 6 inches and exhibited in a grid format at The Breezeway at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, underscoring both individual expression and collective presence.
