‘Show Us Your Downtown’ is an online juried exhibition celebrating Colorado’s 150th anniversary of statehood! In honor of this milestone year, the Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) invites residents from across Colorado to explore and share the downtowns that define their communities.
CPAC encourages photographers of all skill levels to submit new or previously created images capturing downtown areas anywhere in Colorado. Interpretations of “downtown” are intentionally open – ranging from historic landmarks and civic spaces to contemporary developments, cultural hubs, neighborhood corridors, and everyday architectural details that give your community its character.
All forms of imagery are welcome, including black-and-white and color photography, streetscapes, public spaces, and architecture.
Exhibition Juror: Darrin Alfred, Curator of Architecture and Design, Denver Art Museum
