About Museum of Contemporary Photography

Portfolios by photographers and artists living in the Midwestern United States make up the Midwest Photographers Project, a regional resource held by the Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP) in Chicago alongside its permanent collection. The museum is devoted to photography and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

Columbia College Chicago founded the MoCP in 1976 as the successor to the Chicago Center for Contemporary Photography. The museum began collecting in the early 1980s, and its holdings have since grown to more than 15,000 objects by over 1,500 artists.
