CoPA's Seventh Annual Members' Exhibition opened with a reception on Gallery Night at 262 East Menomonee in the Third Ward, just across from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD). This year, the Members' Show features 113 regional artists. The exhibition will be on display with regular gallery hours from April 20 to May 12, 2012.

The exhibition spans the gamut of photography: natural and urban landscapes, fantasy, travel, digital manipulation, black and white close-ups, psychological portraits, mixed media, and much more. CoPA’s members include well-established professional photographers, college students and amateurs. Some experiment fearlessly; others are consummate craftsmen, committed to traditional processes. All are united by a passion for fine art photography.

One World One People: Jewish Photographic Portraits by Arnold Newman
 

Did you miss the gallery talk by Catherine Edelman? No problem! Mary Overman at Walker's Point Center for the Arts recorded the discussion and posted this segment on YouTube. Edelman talks about her perspective as an art dealer specializing in photography and shares a number of great suggestions on how to connect with galleries and mistakes to avoid!

Historians of photography don't usually associate Edward Weston with Surrealism, but that post-World War I movement in the arts underlies many of Weston's works, where everyday objects are divorced from their normal environments, and seem to possess double identities and sexual power.

Several CoPA members recently submitted essays written on the topic  “What contemporary photography means to you and how you see your photography fitting into your future plans as a Fine Art Photographer.”
