February 27 – April 18, 2026
The Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) presents An Impossibly Normal Life, a solo exhibition by photographer Matthew Finley. Drawing from found snapshots collected worldwide, Finley constructs a fictional visual history of his Uncle Ken, reimagining a life shaped by queer love, freedom, and self-expression. Through the addition of glitter and rhinestones, Finley transforms intimate, everyday moments into acts of affirmation—celebrating joy, resilience, and the radical power of being seen.
Opening Reception: Friday, February 27 (5 – 8 pm).
Artist Talk and Book Signing: Saturday, February 28 (1 pm).
All events are free and open to the public.
Gallery hours: Tuesday – Friday: 11am – 5pm, Saturday: Noon – 4pm
Presented alongside Parting Gift: Fitting in America by Leonard Suryajaya.
