The Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona was founded in 1975 due in great part to the vision and generosity of Ansel and Virginia Adams; the Ansel Adams Archive was one of the five inaugural archives. To date, 2,665 items from the Ansel Adams Photographs are available for viewing online as part of the Center for Creative Photography Digital Collections. The exhibition ANSEL ADAMS: DISCOVERIES, on view at the Phoenix Art Museum through June 6th, is but one example of the historical legacies cared for at the CCP.

“The New Orleans Photo Alliance is proud to present the national juried photographic exhibit, “The American Dream”, juried by 2005 Guggenheim and 2000 MacArthur Fellow, Deborah Willis. Dr. Deb Willis, a professor at New York University is also a professional art photographer and one of the nation’s leading historians of African American photography. She is the author of numerous books including the recent, critically acclaimed, The Black Female Body: A Photographic History with Carla Williams.
–What does the American Dream look like? How is it now defined? Has it been realized?–
“…These are the three questions that I explored as I looked at the photographic works submitted to The New Orleans Photo Alliance call for The American Dream. I realized early on that the visual response to the questions was not a monolithic vision but one that explored ideas about notions of home, family, work, religion, as well as the land. The images in this exhibition challenge ideas about dreaming in and about America…”
