A Celebration Of Amazing Photography

Colorado Photography Week is a new statewide celebration of photography, launched in 2025 and inspired right here in Durango, Colorado. Created to bring together professional photographers, enthusiasts, students, galleries, businesses, and communities, the week features exhibits, workshops, special events, and photography experiences for everyone. Join Our Newsletter!

The vision for Colorado Photography Week is recognized and endorsed by the Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC), the state’s leading nonprofit photography organization and organizer of the biennial Month of Photography Denver Festival, held March 1–31, which shares our belief that Colorado deserves celebrations of the art, craft, and impact of photography.
