Attention all Metro Denver Area University Student

Attention all Metro Denver Area University Students! YES, that’s ALL metro universities. ⁠
⁠
If you’re looking to add something to your resume AND learn new skills to take out into the world, we’d love it if you’d apply for one of our upcoming internship openings. ⁠
⁠
Spring internship applications have just opened and we have four different opportunities: one each in Exhibitions, Social Media and Marketing, Database Management and Development, and Collections Management. ⁠
⁠
This is an unpaid opportunity but you’ll learn skills in the above as well as gain exposure to a non-profit arts organization. All while supporting your local creative community! ⁠
⁠
Apply soon – applications close January 19th, 2024. We hope to see you as part of our team!⁠

New year, new hobby, new community? ⁠
⁠
Let’s make 2024 the year you grab that camera and purchase a membership to CPAC! Memberships include classes, events, programs, discounts, and exhibits in a supportive community. Stretch those creative muscles, try (or try again) something new, and support our non-profit photographic arts center in a whole new way. ⁠
⁠
A CPAC membership is also the perfect gift for the photographer in your life that will last at least a whole year – if not a lifetime. ⁠
⁠
Fun fact: the membership fees are tax deductible too! ⁠
⁠
Check out our website (using the link in our bio) for all member benefits as well as our membership options. Amateurs or pros – all are welcome.⁠

Because you gave, we can keep sharing the gift of photography! ⁠

We’d like to extend a massive thanks for your support of CPAC during Colorado Gives Day. Because of your generosity we raised $8,565 toward our goal of $60,000 by December 31st to help fund our exhibitions, education, and community outreach programs in 2024. ⁠
⁠
It just wouldn’t be possible without the support of our members and community like you. ⁠
⁠
We know there are many causes and needs worthy of your donation, and we are so grateful you chose CPAC. ⁠
⁠
If you are interested in making a donation and haven't done so, visit https://cpacphoto.org/donate/ any time before December 31st. ⁠
⁠
We look forward to sharing the world of photography with you into the new year and beyond.⁠

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!⁠
