Evan Hume

Evan Hume is an artist and educator based in Ames, Iowa where he is Assistant Professor of Photography at Iowa State University. He earned his BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and MFA from George Washington University.

He has recently had solo exhibitions at Texas Tech University (Lubbock) and Office Space (Salt Lake City) and shown in group exhibitions at Fotografiska (New York), Filter (Chicago), and Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (Arlington, VA). Hume's work has been featured by publications such as Aperture and Der Greif, and is included in the Museum of Contemporary Photography's Midwest Photographers Project.
