Small gallery. Free admission. Paid parking available via garage. We were unimpressed by the presentation. While(some of) the photos were very compelling, the exhibit lacked providing the context they were taken in… time or place or history.

I used to come here pretty often when I was a student at the U of A. The Center for Creative Photography is pretty close(just thru the Speedway pedestrian underpass) from McClelland Hall where I had my business classes. It is completely free to visit and they have good air conditioning. So, it makes it the perfect spot to take a break between classes. The place is not huge but their collection is. So the pieces on display in the gallery rotate very frequently. They also often loan out some of their works to other museums and they have a strong partnership with the Phoenix Art Museum and a permanent gallery there as well. On a recent visit during homecoming weekend, they were showing«Performance: Contemporary Photography from the Douglas Nielsen Collection». I didn’t much care for most of the works but overall the exhibit was quite interesting. It just goes to show how diverse the CCP is.

I do not think tha t the photos deserve museu trreatment. The fact that the CCP is not a part of U of Az Art Museums, corroborates this opinon. The small format pictures do nto lend themselves to museum like exhibition, unless the users are provided a magnifying glass. But the Tucson oligarchs converted this architecturally dull structure into a poor man’s Sistine Chapel and it became a holy cow of the U of Arizona Administration. But. there is always time for paradigmatic shift.

A hidden gem among the plethora of free things to do here in Tucson. On those hot Sunday afternoons, the center is opened(air con) and usually a fantastically curated show or shows, that are both visually appealing and informative. I go as often as I can even if I have already seen the show before, there is always news inspiration to glean. Just spend some time your next visit on campus, you will be happy you did.

It’s FREE. It’s air conditioned. it’s wheelchair accessible. The toughest part is parking. I found a metered space about a block away and dropped some quarters. This is a worthwhile place to stop if you’re braving the area of Tucson’s light rail construction. The exhibits change frequently. I think there’s a sign that says no photography inside the gallery. CLOSED: Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, December 25th, and January 1.

I planned to stop here on my way back to the airport from Tucson. I’m glad I didn’t allot a whole lot of time for it. I had really hoped to see some Ansel Adams prints, but instead it was a different exhibit full of(this may sound ignorant of me) a bunch of pictures of naked women. It was a very small exhibit, and some guy followed me around the whole time — as if I would ever take anything off of the walls there. All in all, I was pretty disappointed by the current exhibit.

A very nice small gallery of photography on the university campus. We really enjoyed the Ansel Adams photographs. The other collection was on portraits and had very nice written pieces next to many of them(«What do you see?» — «What can you learn?»).

I love photography and was excited to see U of A had a gallery. My husband and I were walking around the campus and stopped in. The center was much smaller than I was expecting. We both enjoyed the interesting topographical images displayed and agreed to stop to see the next exhibit. It is totally worth a pit stop while on campus, but I wouldn’t go planning on making an afternoon of it.

The sign remarking that the Center for Creative Photography has one of the largest collections of photo art in the world is deceiving for the casual visitor. Without a scheduled viewing, you are only able to visit the temporary exhibit. In my case this was a collection of work on love(fitting since we visited on Valentine’s Day). The art in the exhibit didn’t exactly speak to me(mostly modern nudes with computer editing), but for a free museum this is worth the visit.

As a bonafide recovering Art Bitch, I give this university gallery the blue ribbon award for kickassery! Truly a «hidden gem»(i hate that phrase) in Tucson, the collection and the revolving pieces never cease to impress me. I have brought almost every single tourist from the east coast to this gallery, including some photography professors, and they leave with snoooty mouths agape that in this pleasant little desert town resides a high-caliber, well manicured collection of the arts. I am always upset when I visit and I can’t stop by this gallery-and don’t miss out out on their catalogs, magazines, books, postcards and prints they have in the atrium as unique gifts/decoration. Splleeeendid.

I can’t believe I’m the first to review my college stomping grounds and former place of college employment. CCP, you hold a soft place in my heart. You gave me my professional start in my career in the arts, and you have North America’s most kick @ss collection of photos. SERIOUSLY every one. If you go to U of A, you might think this is just a funky place for a class– but truly– there is something special here. Contemporary and Creative Photography would not exist with out help from this place. I try to visit whenever I’m in Tucson, but now they also have part of their collection at PAM(Phoenix Art Museum) just a mile from where I work in Phoenix.
