PHOTOGRAPHY WORKS

A Mentoring Program

Photography Works is a year-long program that will provides 10 students, ages 14-18, who have a serious interest in photography, with in depth instruction and mentoring in a variety of photo-related careers.

FUJIFILM Foundations of Creation Fellowship Program

Hired through a generous sponsorship from FUJIFILM, these paid fellows will be working jointly as a task-force, and collaborate to contribute to the continued success, growing visibility, and propagation of CEPA’s education and exhibition programs.

ADVANCED CRITIQUE GROUP AT CEPA

This group is meant for artists with an on-going creative practice that think about their work conceptually and have confidence in responding to other artist’s work in a constructive and helpful manner. 

Whether you’re already working on a project or looking to begin something new, this 8-week advanced critique will provide a safe space for you to develop a photo-based body of work within a supportive community. Each artist will present their work in print or by projection every other session—four times during the course—and will be expected to show new work in each of their critiques. Group discussions will be led by artist Andrea Wenglowskyj, in order to help each participant further their projects through experimentation, research, technical support and goal setting.
