Month of Photography Denver is back in March 2023 – and that means you can enjoy an incredible amount of outstanding photography at more than 60 spaces in Denver and beyond, from big museums to galleries to coffee shops. Most events are free to attend.

Presented by the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, the festival includes works by more than 500 local, national, and international artists, making it one of the most important platforms for photography in the Western U.S.

The 2023 events marks the 9^th iteration of the festival, which was founded in 2004 by Denver-based artist Mark Sink and is now run by CPAC.

With more than 125 exhibitions, artist talks, receptions, workshops, and events, there’s something for everyone.
