The Colorado Photographic Arts Center announces its annual juried members’ photography exhibition. This year’s juror is Anne Leighton Massoni, Executive Director of the Houston Center for Photography in Texas. The exhibition will be a survey of new work made by CPAC members, and is intended to highlight the creative talents of CPAC’s constituency. There is no theme. The show is open to current, registered members of the organization only. If you are not a member of CPAC, you can become one today!
The juror will select work for the exhibition along with a selection of special mentions which will be featured on the CPAC website, on a digital slide show in the gallery, and in an exhibition catalog that will be published.
