Launched by CPAC and our partners in August 2017, the Veterans Workshop Series is a unique program that provides advanced photographic education to Denver-area Veterans at no cost to them. Over a five-month period, participants learn to refine technical skills, hone ideas into a body of work, create a portfolio, write about their work, and present their projects to the community in a public exhibition at CPAC’s gallery.
The workshops are led by Frank Varney, an accomplished artist and instructor with 30 years of teaching experience. Guest instructors are also brought in to teach specialized workshops. Finally, the program also includes one-on-one mentoring throughout the four-month period provided by Samantha Johnston, Executive Director of CPAC.
