Visions of Greater Buffalo is a CEPA fundraiser that invites 50 individuals with unique community perspectives to take up single-use film cameras and share their personal vision of the region. Started in 2005, the resulting collection of Buffalo photography has over 350 images taken by visionaries who are representative of the arts, business, sports, community service, and faith-based organizations of the Queen City.
The cameras are submitted to CEPA Gallery, then developed and reviewed by a panel of professionals. The best photograph from each camera is matted and framed for inclusion in a special exhibit that ends with a silent auction featuring all 50 of the selected works. Proceeds from the auction as well as print sales go to CEPA’s internationally recognized exhibits and community education program.
Prints shown in this collection are a limited selection from years 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2013. To view the entire collection, please contact CEPA.

CEPA Gallery’s Black Matters billboard exhibit highlights the realities of systemic and institutionalized racism, focusing the public’s attention not only on the present moment and the issue of police violence, but on the many challenges, contributions and assets of Black people in our communities. The text and image cohesion intends to speak directly to local governments and communities to create dialogue around the “isms” in our society with the hope of inspiring calls to action for lessening communal inequities.
