We're happy to kick off our 2026 Annual Member Show! The show will be on display in the CPAC gallery from June 26th to August 1st.

Juror Brian Piper, Ph.D., the Freeman Family Curator of the Photographs, Prints, and Drawings at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA), selected photographs by 32 CPAC members to exhibit. He also selected 20 additional works for inclusion as a Special Mention subset.

Throughout the exhibition, we will be highlighting each artist whose work has been selected. Today, we look at Dustin Riggs' piece, 'Light on the Lake'.

Riggs speaks about this piece, "'Light on Lake' is part of a larger body of work called Sleepwalking in the Cascades. Over the last ten years I have let my local mountains dictate the direction I take the project As our access to public lands becomes more uncertain, I seek to highlight the timeless importance of wild places. These places have existed for Millenia, and will continue to exist when I am long gone."

❯ Opening Reception: June 27th 5-8pm⁠
❯ On display June 26th - August 1st⁠
❯ Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday 11am-5pm & Saturday 12pm-4pm⁠
