According to Cyndee Galindo, curator for the 2025 exhibit, “I believe as visual artists, it is imperative that we strive for creative growth and be exposed to different mediums, genres, methods, and techniques to expand our personal vision and push photography into a new era of expression. Photography has evolved and it’s time we embrace it.”
