The next exhibition at the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel will be the ImageMakers!
There will have a panel discussion on Saturday, Feb. 25 from 4:00 – 5:00 pm in Carpenter Hall. A reception will follow from 5:00 – 7:00 pm in the CPA Gallery. This event is FREE and open to the public!
The ImageMakers is generously sponsored by Jim and Betty Kasson.
It is an exciting exhibition featuring the work of 45 photographers, all members of the talented ImageMakers group. These creative photographers are represented by one photograph each, compiling a group show with an incredibly diverse array of styles, techniques, and subject matter.
The ImageMakers was formed in April 1996 by a group of fine art photographers on the Monterey Peninsula, in Central California, who wanted to create a venue where they could exchange ideas about the rapidly evolving world of contemporary photography. They also wanted to review and discuss new work in progress by their fellow artists working in the field. From an initial group of six photographers, the ImageMakers has grown to an enthusiastic organization of over 60 members.
The members currently work in both black and white, color and also with digital images. Their work includes documentary, landscapes, portraits, underwater sea life, architecture, still life, graphic design, and a variety of other types of subject matter, images, and processes. Some members are new to the art while others have photographs in museums throughout the world. The group includes photographers who are instructors for UC Santa Cruz, Monterey Peninsula College, Cabrillo College and for a number of photographic workshops.
Join us for this innovative show, and come away inspired by the range and breadth of these many aesthetic approaches to contemporary photography!

The Center For Photographic Art (CPA) presents Monterey’s own flourishing photography organization ImageMakers —20 Years of Creativity. The opening event takes place on Saturday, February 25, with an artist’s panel discussion at 4:00 pm, followed by a reception and catalog sales in the gallery from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The exhibition runs from February 25 through April 2, 2017.
CPA is thrilled to host an exhibition featuring the members of ImageMakers, a leading organization for photography here on the West Coast. Beginning in 1996 with a gathering of just six photographers, the invitational organization now supports an enthusiastic community of over sixty Monterey Peninsula artists. This was a radical period for photography, which saw revolutionary changes in the medium. Despite these upheavals, ImageMakers has managed to thrive and continues to grow and widen its appeal. Members have developed a nourishing environment that welcomes the free exchange of ideas in a venue that promotes sharing and discussions of work with fellow photographers. The organization embraces all seriously engaged photographers, from veterans of the gelatin silver darkroom to young artists working with the latest digital technology. Its members include those just starting out, college and university instructors, and artists whose work is shown and collected by museums and other public collections worldwide.
The ImageMakers’ exhibition will reflect the range of approaches and styles of its membership, which includes documentary, underwater, still life, portrait, landscape, experimental, and non-representational subjects in various photographic mediums. Over forty works were selected by the organization’s steering committee, with final jurying by CPA’s Executive and Assistant Directors, award-winning photographers Brian Taylor and Rick Murai, respectively.
Please join CPA and ImageMakers for a pre-reception conversation with current President Jack Wasserbach, along with past Presidents, David Gubernick, Brett Thomas, and Jacqui Turner in Carpenter Hall at 4:00 pm. The opening reception and catalog sales follows, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm in the gallery, Saturday, February 25, 2017.
