Opening Reception at UCR ARTS California Museum of Photography, featuring the SPE West Exhibition in the f-stop pedestrian gallery. (3824 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501)
On View — November 5–9, 2025
The SPE West Exhibition brings together the creative voices of more than 45 photographic artists—educators, students, and professionals—whose works embody the diverse practices and perspectives shaping contemporary image-making across the Western region. This exhibition celebrates the spirit of inquiry, experimentation, and community that defines the Society for Photographic Education (SPE).
Hosted in the f-stop pedestrian gallery at the UCR ARTS California Museum of Photography, the exhibition coincides with Downtown Riverside's Monthly Artswalk, offering visitors an evening to experience photography that spans both current and past projects from SPE West members. The collection represents a vibrant cross-section of the photographic landscape—from conceptual explorations and social documentary to experimental processes and emerging digital dialogues.
We extend our sincere gratitude to UCR ARTS for hosting the SPE West Chapter Conference and for their continued commitment to photographic education and visual culture. This exhibition stands as a testament to the power of shared vision, dialogue, and artistic collaboration within our regional and academic communities.
