Artist talks and workshops

CCP frequently runs artist talks to accompany exhibitions. This is a great opportunity to hear the artists talk about their work first hand, ask questions and find out more about their practice.

An informal artist talk session takes place on the first Saturday of each exhibition at 12pm, this is a free event and open to all ages.

CCP Workshops are a rare opportunity to grow your skills with major photographic artists. Renowned practitioners from both artistic and commercial worlds deliver short courses of varying durations on all types of topics and skills. Providing intense, in depth and intimate sessions that give a behind-the-scenes view to these artists’ practices, workshops may also include personal folio reviews and course assignments.
