Opening: What Remains

What Remains, an exhibition inspired by the 2025 selection for One Book One Denver, features three contemporary photographers whose images explore complexities of identity, fear, memory, and the solace that can be found through art.

An opening reception will be Friday, August 8th between 5:00–8:00 pm at CPAC. This event is free and open to the public.

Additionally, there will be a One Book One Denver Unveiling Celebration Friday, August 8th between 6:00–9:00 pm at the Denver Public Library Central Branch (a five minute-walk from CPAC). Stop by for an evening that celebrates the power of books to spark dialogue, elevate diverse voices, and bring people together. The 2025 selection will be unveiled and launch two months of citywide programming designed to inspire connection and conversation

Additionally, join us on Saturday, September 6 at 10:00am for a drop-in writing session with Lighthouse Writers Workshop. Together we’ll explore What Remains before diving into writing and voluntarily sharing responses to the artwork. Creatives of all types, genres, and experience levels are welcome. This will be followed by a panel discussion led by Samantha Johnston, CPAC Executive Director and Curator with the exhibiting artists at 1:00 pm.
