Thank you to Ray Rinaldi and @denverpost for spotl

Thank you to Ray Rinaldi and @denverpost for spotlighting Tell Me a Story in our new space at 1200 Lincoln Street. ⁠
⁠
Tell Me a Story explores the idea of photography as a format for storytelling, but in a very specific way. What is the power, the show asks, of a single image, to relate a complex human tale? And this isn't the only question that emerges from seeing our new exhibition.⁠
⁠
As Rinaldi remarks, "Each is a mystery without quite enough clues to solve. They hint at a bigger tale, giving us neither the beginning nor the end, just a split second of the action...Either way, they are riveting, and the show is exceptionally cohesive and relentlessly on point. Viewers might find the shots inspirational or be annoyed by the whole exercise, though they will, no doubt, stare for a very long time."⁠

⁠A big thank you to everyone who showed up last

⁠A big thank you to everyone who showed up last night to support the opening of Tell Me a Story! It was an incredible evening of celebrating photography and the narratives told through such artistic dedication. ⁠
⁠
Juror Mary Statzer chose photographer Jesse Freidin (@jessefreidin) for the Juror's Award. ⁠
⁠
Freidin was America's leading fine art dog photographer for the past 15 years, and now focuses on elevating the experience of the trans/tgnc community through portraiture and interviews. His photography is part of over 150 private collections and has been exhibited in galleries from coast to coast. ⁠
⁠
His current series entitled “Are You OK?” documents the faces and stories of trans/non-binary youth in the United States ready to stand up to political annihilation. Flanked by supportive families, a diverse group of outspoken and deeply loved youth present their strength and joy to the world in a revolt against the country’s attempt to erase them.⁠
⁠
Freidin will also be teaching a workshop with us in March 2024 on website building for artists through the Squarespace platform. Use the link in our bio to learn more and register.⁠
⁠
We will be highlighting other award winners in the coming weeks!⁠

"⁠CPAC has not only connected me with the vibrant photographic community but also inspired me to share my own work.

If you were asked to tell a story with photographs

If you were asked to tell a story with photographs, how many images would you need to get your point across? What if you could only choose one? ⁠
⁠
Opening this Thursday at CPAC, Tell Me a Story highlights the power of storytelling in a single frame. The exhibition features 32 photographs by 32 local, national, and international artists selected from over 500 submissions by juror Mary Statzer, Curator of Prints and Photographs at the New Mexico Museum of Art. ⁠
⁠
The exhibit includes a range of styles, from landscapes to still-lifes, portraiture to abstraction – but each one tells a unique story that stands on its own. ⁠
⁠
We invite you to explore the exhibit and meet juror Mary Statzer, along with participating artists, at an Opening Reception on First Friday, December 1st, from 6 – 9 pm. ⁠

Maybe it's being in a new space or the time of year that puts us in a reflective mood...either way, we want to recognize our Veterans Workshop Series and the 60 local U.S. Military Veterans who have graduated from the program since we started this journey in 2017. What began as a simple idea to support Veteran artists by providing free photography workshops has grown into a life-changing program for many participants who have gained the skills and confidence to share their artistic vision. We are deeply thankful to program participants, instructors, supporters, and staff who pour their hearts into this program. ⁠
⁠
Over the past six months, our current class of participants learned to refine technical skills, hone ideas into a body of work, create a portfolio, and write about their creative practice. Their final photography projects will be shown to the community in an exhibition from January 12 – February 17, 2024.⁠
⁠
If you are a local military Veteran and would like to apply for the 2024 program, keep an eye out for the application opening in the new year. Or learn more about the program by using the link in our bio.⁠
⁠
And a special thanks to @jpmorgan, Prevent & Prevail, @hahnemuehle_imaging, @metropolitanframecompany, @digitalsilverimaging, and @sony for supporting this year's program. ⁠
