"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. ⁠

@mopdenver has just begun, and the excitement for everything the festival has to offer keeps building! ⁠
⁠
In a recently released interview with @dariaartmagazine, CPAC Executive Director & Curator Samantha Johnston tells Laura Miller about all things MOP, including what she's excited about for the festival and some must-see exhibitions, of which many are free to attend. ⁠
⁠
Johnston also comments on what she wishes people knew most about Denver's photography scene, "The photography community in Denver and Colorado has a rich history, and our community is known for being especially welcoming and active. I wish more people knew that CPAC is one of the only arts spaces in Denver with free exhibitions open to the public year-round." ⁠
⁠
Huge thank you to Laura Miller (@seagremlin) and DARIA Magazine for taking the time to get the inside scoop on the 2023 Month of Photography festival and all that CPAC has to offer. ⁠
⁠
To read the full interview, grab a copy of their latest print edition or head to DARIA's website. ⁠
