Director's Circle, Patron & Advocate level members are invited to Phoenix to view the new exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum Farewell Photography: The Hitachi Collection of Postwar Japanese Photographs, 1961-1989, and attend a talk by curator Adam Monohon.

From February 5-July 22, 2022, the Center for Creative Photography (CCP) and the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR) will stage installations together that follow historical, cultural, and scientific narratives inspired by trees.

Over the last four years, the Center for Creative Photography analyzed our collections, determined strengths, and identified gaps in representation. The Center is committed to growing the collection to include previously underrepresented artists, and through three auctions of duplicate holdings in the collection, the CCP has funded an endowment to purchase work to diversify the collection. Trios: Looking Close at Three New Acquisitions serves as our first opportunity to share new works funded by the endowment with our community. Designed to be an evolving exhibition, we will rotate works in February and March, sharing three new prints each time. 

Join us for the first Members' Opening Reception since CCP reopened in August, to celebrate Trees Stir in their Leaves.
