Many of the instructors who work with CPAC are also artists, having dedicated significant time to the medium. @donalaurita brings 20+ years of photographic experience to the classroom.⁠
⁠
Laurita states, "For most of my artistic career, I've worked primarily as a conceptual artist working with elements of emotional and humanitarian challenges along with incorporating a backdrop of the natural world. My work has always been very poetic and dreamy. I challenge myself to become more refined carrying out my ideas. I intend to invite the viewer to step into a bit of an alternate reality and think outside of their own box."⁠

Calling all art educators!⁠

Looking to teach photography with CPAC? We are currently accepting class proposals for this upcoming Fall 2023 season. ⁠
⁠
Instructors have the opportunity to spark curiosity through photo based classes and workshops, collaborate in the sharing of knowledge to empower practice, and be a guide for fellow artists to achieve new heights.⁠ But that's not all...you would also be teaching in our new classroom space and darkroom! ⁠
⁠

Every summer, we offer workshops designed exclusiv

Every summer, we offer workshops designed exclusively for teens interested in learning more about photography. Students are guided by qualified instructors who are passionate about sharing knowledge and tips from their own art practices. ⁠
⁠
Instructor and fellow artist, Denise Zubizarreta (@thevampdeville), began her journey with photography by collecting and fixing old cameras when she was in middle school and taking Polaroids. Denise decided to try capturing close-ups of food and eventually pivoted to macro botanical photography.⁠ Here are two examples of her work, the first image representing her current approach.⁠
⁠
One of the reasons we love having teens in our gallery is being able to watch student work evolve right before our eyes. Even just one workshop can inspire growth and creativity! ⁠

It has been said so many ways by so many photographers, the connection that exists between photography and memory.⁠
⁠
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever…It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind⁠
⁠
“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” — Dorothea Lange⁠
⁠
“The best images are the ones that retain their strength and impact over the years, regardless of the number of times they are viewed.” — Anne Geddes⁠
⁠
This long weekend not only marks the beginning of summer, but also the observance of Memorial Day, when we honor the memory of U.S. military personnel who passed while serving in the United States Armed Forces.⁠
⁠
One way to commemorate the day and to remember is with the power of photography. Perhaps it is spending some time this weekend with your camera or looking at pictures with others. Although we are temporarily closed we have our permanent collection online as well as past exhibitions, including all Veterans Workshop Series shows. ⁠

We apologize for any inconvenience, CPAC is temporarily closed as we relocate to our new space at 1200 Lincoln Street.⁠

Your support means a great deal to us during this transition. As we settle into our new home, we look forward to providing powerful exhibitions, new workshops and classes in our dedicated classroom, and special community programming that seeks to connect and inspire.⁠

We’re excited for the memories you will make at 1200 Lincoln Street. Our new home would not be complete without our community. See you again soon!⁠
