PSfA's mission is to serve and support culturally underserved photography students and instructors nationwide through traveling curated portfolio boxes.
Print Study for All supports educators working with culturally underserved communities—both urban and rural—by providing access to curated photography portfolios designed to inspire, educate, and engage. Each thematically organized set features works by celebrated artists and emerging voices.
These portfolios are more than just images—they are hands-on teaching tools. Students interact directly with physical photographic prints, fostering a tactile and meaningful connection to contemporary photographic practice. Each educator will be provided a two-week loan period, giving students ample time to explore the work in depth and participate in rich, critical discussions.
To help integrate these materials into your curriculum, each portfolio comes with comprehensive support:
Artist and curatorial/juror statements
Classroom-ready educational guides

“It can be really difficult to arrange for students to visit Works On Paper Study rooms off-campus. Print Study For All allows for museum-quality prints to be viewed closely in the learning environment. Seeing the quality of the prints helped my students to better understand their own photographic processes in the context of contemporary photography.”
Assistant Professor Jamie Robertson Old Dominion University
“This was a rare opportunity for students to see, in person, challenging and new work about current ideas and world events.”

“Our experience with Print Study For All has been an interactive gift that surprised and delighted the students from start to finish. Their discovery and discussion regarding the handling and interaction with the prints required the students to connect the dots regarding the print process, craftsmanship, the idea of the physical art object in a digital world, and the potential for them to use their photography skills in a transferable way in future career opportunities.”
