CPA Photography Workshop Program
Passing a legacy from generation to generation.

The Center for Photographic Art perpetuates a long standing tradition of photographic education through its ongoing program of photography workshops and seminars. As CPA's educational opportunities continue to develop we will expand the scope and variety of our workshop program to include classes designed to address a diversity of photographic issues, ideas, and techniques— from pinholes to pixels.

Taught by some of the most prominent photographers and teachers currently working in the medium, CPA workshops are conducted in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, are reasonably priced, and are designed to foster creativity, inspiration, and a positive learning experience.

Become a part of the legacy. Sign up for a workshop today and expand your knowledge and enjoyment of photography through participation in a CPA workshop.
