Field Trips to CEPA

Field Trips to CEPA - Arts Education - CEPA Gallery - Buffalo NY

CEPA provides free tours of our galleries for school and community groups. If you can stay for awhile, take one or all of our workshops for a small fee.

Students visiting CEPA will see a variety of photographic art. Often the images are challenging in a way that stretches the mind.

One of our goals in introducing students to looking at photography, is to promote the concept of interpretation. Everyone has their own unique reaction to and interpretation of a work of art. This experience opens minds and leads to an understanding and acceptance of different points of view.

Due to COVID-19, Big Orbit Project Space is temporarily closed to the public.
As of August 8, 2020, CEPA Gallery (including the FLUX Gallery, the darkroom, and the digital photo lab) has reopened with restrictions.

In order to continue to serve our members and the public while adhering to social distancing and other safety guidelines during these unprecedented times, all other activities are currently online only.
