From all of us here at CPAC, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you have a safe and festive holiday. Our gallery will be closed today through this Saturday, November 28th. ⁠
⁠
We look forward to seeing you again next week and with our new exhibition Emerging Vision up in the gallery! ⁠
⁠
Featured here is Best in Show winner Justin A. Carney (@joule_zei), with his image "Untitled (Sitting with Family Photos)." Justin's series “Those Left Behind,” is an examination into the individual lives of his family members, specifically his Grandmother's children, to see what bonds keep them together as well as drive them to separate. ⁠
⁠
For Justin, "It is our joys and it is our pains that keep us together, not only specifically for my family but for all of us. We are individuals but our life is not our own. Though we may believe we are alone and try our best to be alone, we share that."⁠

December‘s PhotoVox is already on the horizon! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Next month will feature speaker Dr. Rebecca A. Senf (@beckysenfccp), who will be discussing her new book, The Early Work of Ansel Adams.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Ansel Adams (1902–1984) is famous for his dramatic photographs of the American West. Although many of Adams’ images are now iconic, his early work has remained largely unknown.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Drawing on copious archival research, Senf traces the first three decades of Adams’ photographic practice—beginning with an amateur album made during his childhood and culminating with his Guggenheim-supported National Parks photography of the 1940s.⁠⠀

This is the LAST WEEK to see A Yellow Rose Project in our gallery. ⁠
⁠
Co-founded by Meg Griffiths and Frances Jakubek, A Yellow Rose Project features photographic work by over 100 women located across the United States in response to the 100th Year Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave certain groups of women the right to vote.⁠
⁠
Stop by before it’s too late to see this thought provoking exhibit!⁠

At CPAC, we deeply appreciate the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. One of the most meaningful ways we show our support is through our Veterans Workshop Series. ⁠
⁠
Introduced in 2017, the workshop provides free photographic education to Denver Military Veterans!⁠ Over five months, intensive workshops and one-on-one mentoring sessions take place, as veterans learn how to refine their skills, create portfolios, and present their unique artistic vision. ⁠
⁠
As a culmination to the program, Veterans share their work in our gallery in a special exhibition, which will be on view in the beginning of 2021!⁠

With increasingly severe storms heading your way, prepare your icing and gather your gumdrops. Spice-laden gingerbread shored up with icing is, by far, the most structurally sound recipe. With luck, some portions of your sweet home may survive floods, mudslides and mountainside collapse. (@barbandlindsaycollaborate)⁠

We're excited to announce our new featured member! This quarter we are sharing the work of Melanie Walker (@melaniewalkerartist), who currently teaches in the Media Arts Area at the University of Colorado Boulder.⁠

Over the last several years, Melanie's work has gone in two primary directions involving public art and further pursuits of a mixed media approach to photography.
