Turning 50 deserves a party! In 2025, the Center of Creative Photography (CCP) celebrates five decades of collecting with an exhibition of more than 100 photographs and archival objects drawn from its vast holdings. Picture Party brings these items together in ways that create visual “conversations” across time and place – and that also welcomes you, the viewer, into dialogue with the many ways artists have used photography, from the earliest days of the medium to today. Come join the party and discover how students, scholars, artists, and visitors gain new ideas, insights, and inspiration from the CCP’s unparalleled collection.
