ABOUT THE AUCTION
The
Center for Photographic Art (CPA) in Carmel, California, is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and one of the oldest members’ photography galleries in the country. We occupy the historic gallery established as the Friends of Photography in 1967. For more than five decades, CPA has served as a valuable asset to its members, the community, and the greater world of the photographic arts.
This year will be CPA’s seventh online auction with iGavel hosting its annual
8 x 10 Fundraising Exhibition. Previously an onsite raffle, the 8 x 10 show is our most anticipated fundraiser of the year. It raises vital funds in support of the innovative and thought-provoking programming, exhibitions, lectures, and classes that the photographic community has enjoyed and relied on for over fifty years.
This year we offer small works by 130 established and emerging photographers from California and beyond. This special show features contemporary works from rising stars in the photography world and local legends and international favorites as well! (all framed 8x10” or close to that - and all bidding starts at $80…because 8x10=80!).
We would especially like to thank all the talented artists who have generously donated their photographs to our annual fundraiser. Their enthusiastic support creates important funding toward our many programs and helps make our nonprofit a vibrant community resource.
FUNDING SUPPORT
Your valued support is what makes our programming possible. As a non-profit organization, the
Center for Photographic Art counts on our members, plus the generosity of collectors, educators, students, donors, and photographic artists of every level to keep us thriving. Please join us!
We have met the challenges of these past years by developing a fantastic community of weekly presenters and enthusiastic and engaged audiences. We offer classes and lectures from a diverse group of photo historians, photojournalists, gallerists, publishers, teachers, and photographic artists working in a variety of media. The gallery is free and open to the public. Thanks to you, we are able to continue hosting exhibitions to support artists and educate our audiences and visitors about the importance of photography at this moment in time.
