CoPA member and former Board Secretary and Development Co-chair, Suzanne Garr was recently accepted in a Minneapolis Photo Center juried exhibition. The call for entries for The Portrait: Up Close and Personal resulted in the submission of more than 1,600 images from around the world, 75 of which will be exhibited at the Minneapolis Photo Center. The exhibition opens June 22nd, and runs through August 19th.

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.
