Our next Free Day? Every day! ⁠

We also offer resources, including a darkroom, digital lab, and photobook library, which are currently closed but will be open again after we relocate to our new space at 1200 Lincoln Street.⁠
⁠
Additionally, we have a permanent collection of over 800 fine art prints which produced our current exhibit, Looking Back, Moving Forward: Permanent Collection Highlights. Pictured is the opening reception for the exhibit, an event that was also free and open to the public. ⁠

"It was tough to select only 45 prints – there are so many gems!" Samantha Johnston tells Megan Ross as they discuss Looking Back, Moving Forward: Permanent Collection Highlights. ⁠
⁠
On the challenges of curating this show, Johnston says, "I spent weeks going through every item by hand, reading historical documentation, and making lists. My goal was to combine pivotal works from the 20th century with national and regional works that demonstrate the breadth of the medium. I also wanted to highlight talented local artists that people may not know." ⁠
⁠
Many thanks to @lenscratch and Megan Ross for writing this article on our latest exhibit, the permanent collection, and CPAC's continued commitment to support the photography community as we get ready to move into our new space at 1200 Lincoln Street.⁠

"To be sovereign is to not be subject to another's authority, another's desires, or another's gaze but rather to be the author of one's own history." – Simone Leigh ⁠

The @santafeartinstitute presents Sovereignty, the theme for the 2024 SFAI International Thematic Artist Residency. This theme calls for an artistic and creative engagement at the multiple intersections of sovereignty as it pertains to the individual, jurisdictions, systems, and society as a whole.⁠
⁠
Applicants can qualify for a BIPOC Award, which grants $500 to selected applicants who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. As well as a new Indigenous Award that SFAI will honor up to ten $500 grants to American Indian, Native American, or U.S. Indigenous applicants.⁠
⁠
Deadline is April 9, 2023 at 11:59 PM MST. ⁠
⁠
