Please join us for the Larry Sultan Visiting Artist Lecture of Spring 2026, with Guadalupe Rosales.

Wednesday, February 11th
Timken Hall, California College of the Arts Main Campus
6:30–8:00pm

“Guadalupe Rosales is a Los Angeles–based multidisciplinary artist and educator best known for her community-generated archival projects Veteranas and Rucas and Map Pointz. Her work centers collective memory and community histories, honoring narratives often excluded from institutional archives.

Rosales received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has exhibited widely, including at the Whitney Museum of American Art, SFMOMA, the Dallas Museum of Art, Museo Universitario del Chopo, and the Gordon Parks Foundation. She is a recipient of a United States Artists Fellowship and a Gordon Parks Foundation Fellowship, and her work is held in major museum collections across the U.S.”

This week’s news about the impending closure of CCA has deeply saddened us all. We had just opened a new darkroom and settled into our new home in SF. There has been a tremendous outflow of support from former staff, faculty and especially alumi. All of us here now thank you. It is the best reminder that the CCA photo community is bigger than a campus in Oakland or San Francisco, it’s bigger than the institution. It is with everyone who worked so hard and grew as artists when they were here. We will mourn this loss together and we will continue that work here and grow our community until the doors close. We will continue to foster and share what we cared about and learned from our beloved program. CCA(C) Photography - always and forever. Sending love to you all.

Time for a student highlight!!!! Zoe is one of our seniors getting their BFA in photography. (@zoee.miles)

“In my photography, I explore the interplay between light and shadow. I create a dreamy and surreal atmosphere in my work, communicating the feeling of separation of mind and body that is experienced with dissociation. My work focuses on the relationship between the intimacy of home and the comfort of familiar spaces, as well as the sustainable, healing, and ephemeral uses of nature.”

Photo 1000 - Tools 1: Intro to Black and White
Time: Wed 9:00 am - 2:30 pm

Photo 1000 is an introduction to the fundamental technical, aesthetic, and formal aspects of analog black and white photography. This course is designed for anyone wishing to develop creative skills and an appreciation of photography as both a fine and applied art. Subjects covered will include: camera types and operations, film types and uses, basic film processing and darkroom printing, exposure, composition, and lighting. Emphasis will be placed on learning to see photographically and translating personal vision into effective imagery. A brief overview of photo history and contemporary trends will provide a context for critique of student work. No previous experience with photography is required.
