Who needs turtle doves, gold rings, and a band of drummers when you can give the gift of photography?!⁠
⁠
Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill, add a print to your collection, expand your library or support the photographer in your life, we have something for everyone.⁠
⁠
Come to the Center and shop for books featuring local and national artists, CPAC branded tote bags, Colorado based photographer prints, and more. ⁠
⁠
Or give the gift of experience with either a CPAC Membership or one of our classes/workshops from a wide selection coming in Spring of 2022. ⁠

This Friday Privilege and Consequence opens to the public ⁠and is available for viewing from 11 am - 5 pm! ⁠
⁠
"The artists that make up our exhibition are working on photographic projects that fall in between concept and document; focusing heavily on protest, as well as societal issues plaguing our citizens and landscape. Positively, ideas of growth and self-love are also made evident in the portraits of people trying to figure out where they fit." — Kris Graves, Juror⁠
⁠
The Opening Reception takes place on Saturday, December 4th from 5 - 8pm. ⁠
⁠
