COALITION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS

June 4–July 30, 2010

Through exhibitions, lectures, panel discussions, and portfolio review, the Coalition of Photographic Arts (CoPA) fosters connections within the photographic community to cultivate awareness of contemporary photography. Members include artists, students, professionals, amateurs, enthusiasts, and collectors, but non-members also benefit from the opportunity to view and learn about the photographic media.

Founded in 2006, the mission of CoPA is “to develop appreciation, promote growth and support the creation of photographic arts in the Greater Milwaukee Region.”

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Art Critic Mary Louise Schumacher noted in her Art City blog on August 17, 2008, “The inaugural, juried exhibition of the Coalition of Photographic Arts is a glimpse into some of the best contemporary art-photography being made in the Midwest today. This local group of artists and enthusiasts has elevated its role as a presenter of contemporary photography with this show.”
