JOIN Open Buffalo and CEPA Gallery for a photography reception and silent auction!
___________________________________________________________
Photographs taken by members of Buffalo's social justice community will be sold to raise funds for Emerging Leaders, the cutting-edge leadership development program created by Open Buffalo to educate and empower local change-makers.
During the summer of 2016, Open Buffalo offered scholarships for a 6-week photography course thorugh CEPA Gallery. This hands-on course was designed specifically for community-minded partners and allies of the Open Buffalo network. The course covered the technical basics of taking powerful photographs (using any type of camera), and inspired participants to unleash their inner creativity to build a better Buffalo.
The course expanded participants' visual communication skills and strengthened their organizations' capacity to engage broad, diverse audiences in their critical missions. It provided a platform for organizers to uncover and elevate important stories within our local community.
The culmination of this course is a 1-week gallery showing and Nov. 11 silent auction, where photos from each participant will be sold to raise funds for the Emerging Leaders program.
Open Buffalo partners, community allies, CEPA Gallery patrons and any and all community members are encouraged to attend this FREE, one-of-a-kind event!
