The digital exhibition is online through Feb. 28, and includes the gaining pictures from the Doors Open Denver photography competition, which provided artists a bigger group of topics than ever before.
“This year, we opened the picture contest and exhibition to images of Colorado architecture, not simply Denver architecture,” wrote Pauline Marie Herrera, president and CEO of the Denver Architecture Foundation, in an email interview. “I have actually taken pleasure in seeing the striking pictures of architectural sites from around our state.”
According to offered details, participating professional photographers of all skill levels were invited to find and photo their preferred architectural areas in Denver and throughout the state. All forms of architectural imagery were qualified: black and white, color, outside, interior and detail images.
“It’s fascinating to see the types of architecture that makes up the different communities and houses and simply how varied our architecture is,” stated Samantha Johnston, executive director and curator of CPAC and juror for the competition. “It’s so exciting for me to see how photographers catch spaces we think about all the time.”
Of the 233 entries, Johnston picked 30 finalist images, including the following for four winners:
Best in Program: “Justice Center Dome” by Ernie Leyba
Best Exterior: “Breaking a Bridge” by Mark Stein
Best Interior: “Williams Tower” by Lauren Sherman-Boemker

“I hope people who see the exhibit come away with a gratitude of Denver’s (and Colorado’s) architecture and a desire to explore it,” Herrera wrote. “I likewise hope they understand what it implies to our lifestyle and its value to our future.”
Since she has actually functioned as juror for the last five years, Johnston has discovered that seeing the many fantastic photos individuals send can make any day out in Denver a type of experience– one that more individuals can participate in.
“When you walk the city, you can look up and say, ‘Oh, that’s where they took that shot,'” she said. “It gives individuals a gratitude for things they perhaps haven’t seen and an appreciation for the city changing.”
