In a historical moment when photography is increasingly central to the way we see and experience the world around us, the Center for Creative Photography welcomes you to reflect with us about Why Photography?

In this virtual program, CCP poses this single, fundamental question to members of the photographic community, to explore how photography participates in the expression of who we are. “Why Photography” is a free virtual fundraising event intended to support initiatives at CCP, such as funding stewardship of the collection and the work of the newly formed Academic and Public Programs department. 

Enhance your “Why Photography” experience and show your support for the CCP with a VIP package mailed right to your door. Programs like these would not be possible without your support. We look forward to celebrating virtually with you! Registration for a VIP Experience or Sponsorship closes on June 10!
